A complete list of requirements¶
TRIQS is built upon several tools, C++ libraries and Python packages, which, if not present already in your system, can be freely downloaded and installed. All the dependencies of TRIQS are listed below with a brief description.
C++ compilers¶
TRIQS is written in modern C++, i.e. using the latest C++ standard as defined by the ISO standardization committee. It is our philsophy to follow the C++ language evolution closely in order to keep the TRIQS code-base as simple and maintainable as possible. For this reason we have decided to limit the compilation of TRIQS to the rapidly evolving gcc and clang compilers. We support the following compiler versions:
- g++ 7.x and higher
- clang 5.0 and higher.
Tools and Libraries¶

|---|---|---|
| cmake | >= 3.3.2 | CMake is used to control the software compilation process |
| python | >= 3.6 | The Python interpreter |
| mpi | openmpi | Parallelism |
| hdf5 | >= 1.8.2 | File storage system |
| fftw | >= 3.2 | Fourier transforms |
| boost | >= 1.49 | C++ library collection. We only depend on the boost headers |
| numpy | >= 1.8.0 | Python Package - Array library |

| mako | >= 0.9.1 | Python Package - Template library |
Building the TRIQS documentation¶
If you want to build the documentation of the TRIQS library locally on your machine, additional dependencies are required.
| Library/tool | Version | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| sphinx | >= 1.0.1 | Python Package - Documentation tools |
| libclang | 5.0 | C interface to clang |
| clang | 5.0 | Python Package - Libclang bindings |
