# [OpenMDAO][0]



OpenMDAO is an open-source high-performance computing platform for

systems analysis and multidisciplinary optimization, written in Python.

It enables you to decompose your models, making them easier to build and

maintain, while still solving them in a tightly coupled manner with

efficient parallel numerical methods.



The OpenMDAO project is primarily focused on supporting gradient-based

optimization with analytic derivatives to allow you to explore large

design spaces with hundreds or thousands of design variables, but the

framework also has a number of parallel computing features that can

work with gradient-free optimization, mixed-integer nonlinear

programming, and traditional design space exploration.



If you are using OpenMDAO, please [cite][20] us!



## Documentation



Documentation for the latest development version can be found [here][2].



Documentation for all released versions can be found [here][3].



## Important Notice



While the API is relatively stable, **OpenMDAO** remains in active development.

There will be periodic changes to the API.

User's are encouraged to pin their version of OpenMDAO to a recent release and

update periodically.



## Install OpenMDAO



You have two options for installing **OpenMDAO**, (1) from the

[Python Package Index (PyPI)][1], and (2) from the [GitHub repository][4].



**OpenMDAO** includes several optional sets of dependencies including:

`test` for installing the developer tools (e.g., testing, coverage),

`docs` for building the documentation and

`visualization` for some extra visualization tools.

Specifying `all` will include all of the optional dependencies.



### Install from [PyPI][1]



This is the easiest way to install **OpenMDAO**. To install only the runtime

dependencies:



    pip install openmdao



To install all the optional dependencies:



    pip install openmdao[all]



### Install from a Cloned Repository



This allows you to install **OpenMDAO** from a local copy of the source code.



    git clone http://github.com/OpenMDAO/OpenMDAO

    cd OpenMDAO

    pip install .



If you would like to make changes to **OpenMDAO** it is recommended you

install it in *[editable][16]* mode (i.e., development mode) by adding the `-e`

flag when calling `pip`, this way any changes you make to the source code will

be included when you import **OpenMDAO** in *Python*. You will also want to

install the packages necessary for running **OpenMDAO**'s tests and documentation

generator.  You can install everything needed for development by running:



    pip install -e OpenMDAO[all]



## OpenMDAO Versions



**OpenMDAO 3.x.y** represents the current, supported version. It requires Python 3.8

or later and is maintained [here][4]. To upgrade to the latest release, run:



    pip install --upgrade openmdao



**OpenMDAO 2.10.x** was the last version to support Python 2.x and is no longer supported.

To install this older release, run:



    pip install "openmdao<3"



**OpenMDAO 1.7.4** was an earlier version of OpenMDAO and is also no longer supported.

The code repository is now named **OpenMDAO1**, and has moved [here][5]. To install it, run:



    pip install "openmdao<2"



The legacy **OpenMDAO v0.x** (versions 0.13.0 and older) of the

**OpenMDAO-Framework** are [here][6].



## Test OpenMDAO



Users are encouraged to run the unit tests to ensure **OpenMDAO** is performing

correctly.  In order to do so, you must install the testing dependencies.



1. Install **OpenMDAO** and its testing dependencies:



    `pip install openmdao[test]`



    > Alternatively, you can clone the repository, as explained

    [here](#install-from-a-cloned-repository), and install the development

    dependencies as described [here](#install-the-developer-dependencies).



2. Run tests:



    `testflo openmdao -n 1`



3. If everything works correctly, you should see a message stating that there

were zero failures.  If the tests produce failures, you are encouraged to report

them as an [issue][7].  If so, please make sure you include your system spec,

and include the error message.



    > If tests fail, please include your system information, you can obtain

    that by running the following commands in *python* and copying the results

    produced by the last line.



        import platform, sys



        info = platform.uname()

        (info.system, info.version), (info.machine, info.processor), sys.version



    > Which should produce a result similar to:



        (('Windows', '10.0.17134'),

         ('AMD64', 'Intel64 Family 6 Model 94 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel'),

         '3.6.6 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Jul 26 2018, 11:48:23) ...')



## Build the Documentation for OpenMDAO



Documentation for the latest version can always be found [here][2], but if you would like to build a local copy you can find instructions to do so [here][19].
