Quick Start

If you wish to get started by just typing a few lines and running an example, this section is for you. We trust you know how to check out the latest version from github. Once you have a directory with the checked-out version you can build with:

1. cd pgapack

2. make

The Makefile will auto-detect if you have an MPI-Implementation installed and will build a parallel version. If no MPI is detected, the serial version will be built. If the version is not correctly auto-detected or you want to force a certain MPI backend, refer to the build documentation in README.rst.

Chapter Examples  (example problems) and Sections Required Functions and String Evaluation and Fitness should be read next.
