Dear All,
I would like to install Kwant using Python 3 under OS X (on my Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6). For Mac OS X however, the guidelines on the Kwant webside cover only the Python 2 installation. Is there a way to install Kwant using Python 3 on a Mac?
Kind Regards, Thomas Kloss
Dear Thomas,
as far as I know Bas Nijholt kindly provides builds for Anaconda environment. So, the simpliest way would be to install Anaconda environment:
https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install
and then install Kwant, running in terminal:
$ conda install -c basnijholt kwant
Unfortunaly, can't test this.
Another option would be compiling from source sequential (non-MPI) version of MUMPS library (probably also Scotch and Metis), and then providing correct build.conf, following this section of tutorial:
https://kwant-project.org/doc/1/pre/install
Unfortunately, nobody from core developer group uses Mac, so they don't provide official builds for it.
With best regards, Viacheslav Ostroukh
