Installing `SI`

The default installation location for SI is /usr/local/lib/si. SI can be installed using raw cmake, cpack (cmakes package mechanism), or as a conan.io package provided from conan center.

Installing using cmake

To install using cmake, clone the repository and execute the following commands from within the cloned folder.

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target install -- -j $(nproc)

Consider running the build/install command with setting the install prefix, if you do not want to install SI system wide

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${HOME}/SI-install

The folder test/installation-tests contains standalone sample programs to check for successful installation.

Installing using `cpack`

To install using cpack, clone the repository and execute the following commands from within the cloned folder.

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target package -- -j $(nproc)

This creates gzipped archives containing all files as well as an installation script SI-<version>-<platform>.sh.

cd build
mkdir ${HOME}/SI-install
./SI-1.0.1-Linux.sh --prefix=$HOME/SI-install --skip-license --exclude-subdir

Installation using conan.io

SI is available at conan-center. As per convention of ConanCenter the package name is si (lower case).

Use the following in your conanfile.txt

[requires]
si/[>1.0 <2.0]@SI/stable

SI/stable are release builds and are considered usable. Use SI/unstable to get the latest development builds. See the official conan documentation on how to integrate the package into your cmake project.

Using as a subdirectory (not installing at all)

Although not the preferred way, SI can be included in any cmake project by putting it into a directory and including it with add_subdirectory(). Depending on the project setup this means that SI should not be installed on its own. Setting the option SI_INSTALL_LIBRARY=OFF will prevent SI from installing any files although the preferred method is using add_subdirectory(path/to/SI ${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/SI-build EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL).

If using as a subdirectory with EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL the SI testing has to be disabled by setting SI_BUILD_TESTING=OFF in cmake.
