AIDE-QC Deployment Repository

This repository contains binaries for the various frameworks, compilers, and libraries provided by the AIDE-QC project.

Mac OS X and Linux x86_64

For Mac OS X and most Linux distributions, we leverage Homebrew to install the AIDE-QC stack. Therefore you must first install Hombebrew (simple instructions on Homebrew homepage).

Once Homebrew is installed, run the following command from your terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://aide-qc.github.io/deploy/install.sh)"

This will install the AIDE-QC stack, including XACC and QCOR.

Test it out your install by trying to compile the code below with qcor

// Test out qcor, copy and paste below text into terminal!
printf "__qpu__ void f(qreg q) {
  H(q[0]);
  Measure(q[0]);
}
int main() {
  auto q = qalloc(1);
  f(q);
  q.print();
}  " | qcor -qpu qpp -shots 1024 -x c++ -
./a.out

Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) and Focal (20.04)

To install on Ubuntu using apt-get debian packages, run the following to enable downloads from the AIDE-QC apt repository:

wget -qO- https://aide-qc.github.io/deploy/aide_qc/debian/PUBLIC-KEY.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget -qO- "https://aide-qc.github.io/deploy/aide_qc/debian/$(lsb_release -cs)/aide-qc.list" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aide-qc.list
apt-get update

Note that the above requires you have lsb_release installed (usually is, if not, apt-get install lsb-release).

Now one can install XACC on its own:

apt-get install xacc

or QCOR, which will give you XACC plus a custom Clang/LLVM install with SyntaxHandler capabilities:

apt-get install qcor

Test it out by trying to compile the code below with qcor

// Test out qcor, copy and paste below text into terminal!
printf "__qpu__ void f(qreg q) {
  H(q[0]);
  Measure(q[0]);
}
int main() {
  auto q = qalloc(1);
  f(q);
  q.print();
}  " | qcor -qpu qpp -shots 1024 -x c++ -
./a.out

All installs will be in the /usr/local/xacc directory.
