What is deal.II?

deal.II is a C++ program library targeted at the computational solution of partial differential equations using adaptive finite elements. It uses state-of-the-art programming techniques to offer you a modern interface to the complex data structures and algorithms required.

For the impatient:

Let's say you've unpacked the .tar.gz file into a directory /path/to/dealii/sources. Then configure, compile, and install the deal.II library with:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/where/dealii/should/be/installed/to /path/to/dealii/sources
$ make install    (alternatively $ make -j<N> install)
$ make test

To build from the repository, execute the following commands first:

$ git clone https://github.com/dealii/dealii
$ cd dealii

Then continue as before.

A detailed ReadME can be found at ./doc/readme.html, ./doc/users/cmake_user.html, or at https://www.dealii.org/.

Getting started:

The tutorial steps are located under examples/ of the installation. Information about the tutorial steps can be found at ./doc/doxygen/tutorial/index.html or at https://www.dealii.org/.

deal.II includes support for pretty-printing deal.II objects inside GDB. See contrib/utilities/dotgdbinit.py or the new documentation page (under 'information for users') for instructions on how to set this up.

License:

Please see the file ./LICENSE.md for details

Further information:

For further information have a look at ./doc/index.html or at https://www.dealii.org.

Docker Images:

Docker images based on the Ubuntu operating system are available on Docker Hub. You can use any of the available version (list of available tags) by running, for example:

$ docker run --rm -t -i dealii/dealii:master-focal

The above command would drop you into an isolated environment, in which you will find the latest version of deal.II (master development branch) installed under /usr/local.

old-website's Issues

Update title bar of the Hannover workshop page

@mathmerizing:

The current workshop website at https://www.dealii.org/workshop-2023/ uses the HTML header from a previous workshop, at a time when 9.0 was the current release (see the top of the page). Could we replace this header by the one currently in use by the main page?

Website still links to old email list archives.

The deal.II website, under "Mailing lists" at https://dealii.org/mail.html, still links to archives from our pre-Google era. These archives are no longer accessible (i.e., the link is dead) and it's questionable whether they are still useful to begin with. We should just remove the link/the whole box.

If we're removing the whole box on that page, there is no more content to https://dealii.org/mail.html and we may as well directly link to the google forum from the drop-down menu.
