Installing Cantera can be tricky, if you don't follow instructions exactly.
 
== Mac ==
 
If you're installing Cantera on a Mac, you have to [[Compiling Software|build it from source]].
 
Start by downloading the Cantera 1.7 or 1.8 source code, and unzip it.  Go to this directory, and edit the <code>preconfig</code> file.  This is a wrapper for configure (so when you are ready to configure, you don't run <code>./configure</code>, you run <code>./preconfig</code>).  Preconfig contains many options that are laid out very clearly, so go through the file and set values appropriate to your system.
 
 
 
=== Dependencies ===
 
If you wish to use Cantera from [[Python]], you have two options:
 
* Use version 1.8.0 and install Numpy
* Use version 1.7.x and install Numarray
 
I highly recommend using version 1.8.0 and Numpy, as Numarray is no longer supported.
 
Anther package that is not required but is useful is [https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html sundials], a suite of nonlinear and differential equation solvers.
 
 
 
=== Building ===
 
Your next steps are obvious:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ ./preconfig
$ make
$ make install
</syntaxhighlight>
