Hi everyone!. I would like to know if it’s possible to install dolfinx on a Ubuntu server and in the Linux Subsystem for Windows. I will appreciate if someone could help me.

I don’t know about the Linux Subsystem for Windows, but dolfinx is available for the development version of Ubuntu, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolfinx An older snapshot is available from the FEniCS PPA, https://launchpad.net/~fenics-packages/+archive/ubuntu/fenics (at some point the P…

Hi @dparsons , thank you for your reply. In the moment, I have dolfin installed from ppa in both Ubuntu server and WSL; however, I couldn’t access that older snapshot you mentioned.

@fforteneto , check the instructions on the PPA page: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fenics-packages/fenics sudo apt-get update After that it should be possible to install dolfin-x with sudo apt-get install fenicsx

@dparsons , I tried the commands you suggested and recieve the following message Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package fenicsx

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS in the Linux Subsystem for Windows

18.04, that’s Bionic Beaver. Check the supported versions on the PPA via the “ View package details ” link. fenicsx is built for fenics 2019.2.0.2. That’s only available for Ubuntu release eoan and focal. i.e. Ubuntu 20.04.

Now I got it! I will check the link. Thank you for your help!

Hi @dparsons , I installed the Ubuntu 20.04 for WSL in my computer and run the command sudo apt install fenics I tried to update to fenics 2019.2.0.2 but it says that fenics is already the newest version (1:2019.1.0.3). How can I get the latest version?

If you are using windows, then the easiest way to use dolfinx is through docker
