Fenics

Install using Conda

Let us create a new environment called fenics and install under this.

conda create -n fenics
conda activate fenics
conda install -c conda-forge fenics-dolfinx mpich pyvista

You may also want to install some other packages

conda install -n fenics -c conda-forge ipython notebook matplotlib scipy

Now activate the environment and do your Fenics work

conda activate fenics

Show list of installed packages in this environment

conda list -n fenics

Update the packages in this environment

conda update -n fenics -c conda-forge --all

Installing fenics using Docker

First install Docker; this is easy on a Mac and needs some configuration on Linux, see here. After this, start Docker and install the fenics script

docker pull quay.io/fenicsproject/stable:latest

This installs the last version of fenics which is 2019.1.0.
