4 Example simulations are available in the `tutorials/mps-XX-YY` folders. In order to
run them you need a complete installation of ALPS, i.e. including the Python tools. The python scripts must be executed with the `alpspython` program, such that the ALPS libraries are imported correclty.
6 For the first tutorial:
8 $ cd tutorials/mps-01-optim
9 $ alpspython spin_one_half.py
12 In the [Parameters section](@ref parameters) one can find a detailed description of the
simulation parameters
for all the ALPS %
MPS tools.
16 A
short description of the source files is available in the [File list section](files.html).
24 * Boost C++ libraries >= 1.52.0
26 * BLAS and LAPACK libraries
27 * Python 2.6.x or 2.7.x with Numpy, SciPy, Matplotlib.
29 Example
package names for the above dependencies are available on the [ALPS website][alps-web].
34 The CMake configuration system will find automatically most
35 dependencies. In case of configuration problems, please refer to the
36 [ALPS website][alps-web] and the [ALPS-Users forum][alps-mail].
38 For a Unix or Darwin system, the following command are enough to build
39 the package. For Windows it is advised to use the CMake GUI utility or
40 to download a binary installer (>=2.2.0b1) from the [ALPS website][alps-web].
47 #### Compile and install
49 $ make # -jN for compilation in parallel using N processes
