Repository folders structure

Give a look at the kriasoft's Folder Structure Conventions first if you need to, since the structure of this repository is based on that.

Download CirDeVec

Using the command below you can download the content of this repository in an automatically created CirDeVec folder inside your current directory. (Git is needed)

$ git clone https://github.com/MuAlphaOmegaEpsilon/CirDeVec

Update CirDeVec

If you already downloaded the CirDeVec repository, maybe some time ago, you might want to update it. You can use the command below.

# If you aren't already inside the CirDeVec repository folder
$ cd CirDeVec
# Update the repository
$ git pull origin master

Extra-tools

Here is a list of extra-tools needed for certain purposes; a list of commands to install the tools on Ubuntu/Debian systems is also given down below:

• Build-essential (Linux only): a collection of tools to build C and C++ projects.

  sudo apt-get install build-essential

• : it automates the download of both, the repository itself and the library needed for benchmarking.

  sudo apt-get install git

• : used to create makefiles and such in an automated fashion.

  sudo apt-get install cmake

• : it generates documentation from source code.

  sudo apt-get install doxygen

Dependencies

• Google Benchmark library: if you wish to benchmark the CirDeVec performance against other data structures, you need to download this.

  # If you aren't already inside the CirDeVec repository folder
  $ cd CirDeVec
  # Download the dependencies
  $ git submodule update --init
