Download the software package from the solvers repository and unpack it in some temporary directory:
wget https://github.com/downloads/hpfem/solvers/mumps-4.9.2.spkg --no-check-certificate
tar -jxvf mumps-4.9.2.spkg
rm mumps-4.9.2.spkg
cd mumps-4.9.2
In order to install the library into say ~/solvers/mumps (you may choose any path you like, provided that you have write access to it; the target directory will be created if it doesn’t exist), type now into the terminal:
./standalone-install ~/solvers/mumps
For advanced configuration possibilities, please read the manual or visit the MUMPS home page.
Once the library has been built and installed, you may delete the temporary directory with the unpacked package to save some disk space or just remove the object files by running
cd src
make clean
Now go to the directory with Hermes. Create the file CMake.vars with the following lines (or append to the existing one):
set(WITH_MUMPS YES)
set(MUMPS_ROOT ~/solvers/mumps) #(or your own installation destination)
Finally execute:
rm CMakeCache.txt
cmake .
make

Help needed!
After the installation has been completed, you may select SOLVER_MUMPS as the matrix solver for your finite element problem, as detailed in the Poisson tutorial, or use it just to solve a standalone matrix problem Ax = b as in the Using Matrix Solvers tutorial.
