Precompiled Packages for Ubuntu
-------------------------------
Precompiled packages of the out-of-date [version 1.3](https://github.com/NanoComp/meep/releases/tag/1.3) (September 2017) are available for [Ubuntu](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=meep). We recommend Ubuntu as Meep and all of its dependencies can be installed using just one line:
```sh
sudo apt-get install meep h5utils
```
You can also install the parallel version of Meep which is based on [OpenMPI](https://www.open-mpi.org/) using:
```sh
sudo apt-get install meep-openmpi
```
The Meep package for Ubuntu is in the process of being updated and will likely appear in Ubuntu 19.10 as derived from the [Debian package](https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=meep).
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
-------------------------
The latest stable version of Meep preinstalled on [Ubuntu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu) 16.04 can be accessed for free on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) as an [Amazon Machine Image (AMI)](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01KHWH0AS) provided by [Simpetus](http://www.simpetus.com/launchsims.html).
