Installation instructions

Asali is based on different open-source codes:

• Cantera: estimation of thermodynamic and transport properties based on the kinetic gas theory and NASA database
• Eigen libraries: linear system solver and handling of numerical issues
• Sundials libraries: IDA and CVODE solvers for Ordinay Differentional Equation (ODE) and Differential and Algebraic Equation (DAE) systems
• Gtkmm: gnome based graphical interface
• PLplot: a cross-platform software package for creating scientific plots

Mingw-w64 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software. This tools are those used to compile the Windows version of Asali.
