How To Install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc on Kali Linux.
What is python3-mpi4py-fft-doc
python3-mpi4py-fft-doc is:
mpi4py-fft is a Python package for computing Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs). Large arrays are distributed and communications are handled under the hood by MPI for Python (mpi4py). To distribute large arrays we are using a new and completely generic algorithm that allows for any index set of a multidimensional array to be distributed. We can distribute just one index (a slab decomposition), two index sets (pencil decomposition) or even more for higher-dimensional arrays.
In mpi4py-fft there is also included a Python interface to the FFTW library. This interface can be used without MPI, much like pyfftw, and even for real-to-real transforms, like discrete cosine or sine transforms.
The package provides a Python interface to FFTW, but with MPI parallelisation. This enables strong scaling tested to 16000 cores, or weak scaling tested to 2000 cores. The algorithm is documented at https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.09536
This is the common documentation package.
There are three methods to install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install python3-mpi4py-fft-docInstall python3-mpi4py-fft-doc Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install python3-mpi4py-fft-docInstall python3-mpi4py-fft-doc Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-mpi4py-fft-doc using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install python3-mpi4py-fft-docHow To Uninstall python3-mpi4py-fft-doc on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the python3-mpi4py-fft-doc package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove python3-mpi4py-fft-docUninstall python3-mpi4py-fft-doc And Its Dependencies
To uninstall python3-mpi4py-fft-doc and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove python3-mpi4py-fft-docRemove python3-mpi4py-fft-doc Configurations and Data
To remove python3-mpi4py-fft-doc configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
