Which Clawpack solver should I use?
before installing, particularly if you are not sure whether you will be using the Fortran versions of the PDE solvers (Classic, AMRClaw, and GeoClaw) or the PyClaw version of the PDE solvers.
Then choose the best installation option for your needs from this list:
If you only plan to use PyClaw to solve the PDEs and Visclaw for plotting, we suggest
Quick Installation of PyClaw with pip.
If you only plan to use the Fortran variants of Clawpack (Classic, AMRClaw, and GeoClaw) for solving the PDEs, together with Visclaw for plotting and other Python tools (e.g. from geoclaw or clawutil), then we suggest
Options for installing Clawpack Fortran codes.
If you are a power user who plans to use both PyClaw and the Fortran variants for solving PDEs, we recommend
Quick Installation of all packages with pip.
Once Clawpack is installed, you can go to one of the following pages to get started:
