| Cantera is a C++ package that provides objects for solving chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport problems. The core of Cantera is written in C++, but it provides interfaces for using Cantera through [[Matlab]] (via a Matlab toolbox), [[Python]], or Fortran.

| = Installation =
| |
| | |
| == 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 by Cantera, but that is useful, is [https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/sundials/main.html sundials], a suite of nonlinear and differential equation solvers.
