How To Install archimedes on CentOS 7

In this tutorial we learn how to install archimedes on CentOS 7. archimedes is 2D Quantum Monte Carlo simulator for semiconductor devices

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install archimedes on CentOS 7.

What is archimedes

Archimedes is a package for the design and simulation of submicron semiconductor devices. It is a 2D Fast Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant quantum effects, thank to the implementation of the Bohm effective potential method. The physics and geometry of a general device is introduced by typing a simple script, which makes, in this sense, Archimedes a powerful tool for the simulation of quite general semiconductor devices.

We can use yum or dnf to install archimedes on CentOS 7. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install archimedes.

Install archimedes on CentOS 7 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache

After updating yum database, We can install archimedes using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install archimedes

Install archimedes on CentOS 7 Using dnf

If you don’t have dnf installed you can install DNF on CentOS 7 first. Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache

After updating yum database, We can install archimedes using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install archimedes

How To Uninstall archimedes on CentOS 7

To uninstall only the archimedes package we can use the following command:

sudo dnf remove archimedes
