==Precompiled Meep packages for Debian and Ubuntu==
A convenient precompiled package of Meep is also available in [[w:Debian GNU/Linux|Debian GNU/Linux]] and [[w:Ubuntu]], specifically as the <code>meep</code> package (currently only in Debian <code>testing</code> or <code>unstable</code>):
We highly recommend using Debian or Ubuntu, as in Debian or Ubuntu the Meep software and all of its dependencies can be installed simply by typing one line:
apt-get install meep h5utils
You can also install the http://packages.debian.org/testing/science/meep-mpi parallel version of Meep using:
apt-get install meep-mpi
(Currently, the Debian <code>meep-mpi</code> package uses [[w:MPICH]], so if you want to use [[w:Open MPI]] then you need to build your own.)
