I bough a brand new PC loaded with Ubuntu 18.04 O/S. Is FEniCS software in Ubuntu PPA?

    FYI the fenics 2017 is packaged in 18.04 LTS - see https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/fenics . – N0rbert May 24 '19 at 19:49

The Ubuntu Personal Package Archives (PPA) version is the latest release of FEniCS. To install FEniCS from the Ubuntu PPA:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fenics-packages/fenics
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends fenics

also if you want To install the Python components of FEniCS:

pip3 install fenics-ffc --upgrade

This will install FFC and its dependencies.

  • Please [edit] and describe the steps. One-liners and link only answers are frowned upon here. –  May 24 '19 at 16:45

  • I follow all the instructions but :~$ pip3 install fenics -ffc responds like this: – batman47 May 28 '19 at 12:35
  • I followed all the instructions. Instruction pip3 install fenics -ffc did not work. The response was: Command 'pip3' not found, but can be installed with:

    sudo apt install python3-pip. FFC or ffc is not just python has more like Dolfin, for example and more. Help appreciated.
