Bash Script to install deal.II on Fedora WorkStation

How to use it?

1. Download the install_deal.sh file on your Fedora WorkStation device.
2. Create a new container to install deal.II: toolbox create -c dealii.
3. Enter the container: toolbox enter -c dealii.
4. Load functions from the installation script file: source ./install_deal.sh.
5. Run the installation function: install_dealii_full.

Details

The script is broken down into separate functions:

1. install_dependencies: Installs required packages from Fedora Repository.
2. install_petsc: We build PETSc from source because it is hard to install SLEPc with the PETSc installed from Fedora Repository.
3. install_sundials: Deal.II does not support SUNDIALS version newer than 3.2.1. So we have to build from source.
4. install_p4est: Installs p4est mesh partitioner instead of METIS or PARMETIS.
5. install_symengine: Install symengine from the Github repo.

If for any reason one of the steps fails, you can edit the script and call only the required functions.
