最近更换了研究方向，需要安装SST模拟器，SST模拟器的安装过程比较复杂，这里记录一下安装过程。

1. 前言

由于课题工作需要，因此仅安装了sst-element中部分组件，本文主要参考SST模拟器详细安装教程和SST模拟器附加组件安装教程，并在此基础上针对个人需求进行了一定的修改。

软件名称 软件版本
Ubuntu 20.04/22.04
SST 13.0.0/13.1.0

2. 安装SST模拟器

2.1 安装前的准备

首先我们需要安装一些必要的软件，这样才能使得SST能够正常的编译。

1
sudo apt install gcc g++ build essential make cmake autoconf automake git libtool doxygen patch

SST推荐的源码下载目录为$HOME/scratch/src，安装目录为$HOME/local/packages，因此我们需要创建这些目录。

1
2
mkdir -p $HOME/scratch/src
mkdir -p $HOME/local/packages

SST推荐安装MPI库，这样就可以通过MPI进行并行计算，官方推荐使用OpenMPI版本的对应关系详见Release Matrix，由于我在学习SST模拟器的同时还想熟悉MPI编程，因此我选择将OpenMPI安装在系统中。

cd $HOME/scratch/src
wget https://download.open-mpi.org/release/open-mpi/v4.1/openmpi-4.1.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openmpi-4.1.4.tar.gz
cd openmpi-4.1.4
# 设置环境变量
echo -e '# MPI \n
MPI_HOME=/usr/local/openmpi \n
export PATH=$MPI_HOME/bin:$PATH \n
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MPI_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH \n
export MANPATH=$MPI_HOME/share/man:$MANPATH \n
export PATH=$MPIHOME/bin:$PATH' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
source /etc/profile
./configure --prefix=$MPIHOME
sudo make all install

SST-Core官方提供了HDF5支持，但是根据由于链接问题，在linux上无法安装，github上也有人提出了Issue，因此本次就不安装HDF5。

2.2 安装SST-Core

SST Core安装到官方推荐的目录就好

tar -zxvf sstcore-13.1.0.tar.gz
cd $HOME/scratch/src/sstcore-13.1.0
echo -e '# SST Core \n
export SST_CORE_HOME=$HOME/local/sstcore-13.1.0\n
export SST_CORE_ROOT=$HOME/scratch/src/sstcore-13.1.0\n
export PATH=$SST_CORE_HOME/bin:$PATH
' | tee -a ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
make all -j$(nproc)
make install
