Installation
Where can I install Meep?
Meep should run on any Unix-like system, from individual machines to clusters to large parallel supercomputers. We do most of our development on GNU/Linux systems, and precompiled packages are available for Debian and Ubuntu. It should also be possible to install Meep on Windows using the free Cygwin Unix-compatibility environment. Installing Meep from source code requires some understanding of Unix, however, especially to install the various prerequisites, and we recommend consulting a local Unix guru at your institution if you run into trouble.
