==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 \[[w:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]\], 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 \[[w:MPICH|MPICH]\], so if you want to use \[[w:Open MPI|Open MPI]\] then you need to build your own.)
