CMake version 3.15 or later is supported.
The ResInsight build may be configured in different ways, with optional support for Octave plugins, ABAQUS ODB API, HDF5, Pyton, and OpenMP. This is configured using options in CMake.

RESINSIGHT_GRPC_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE | Blank | Location of Python3 executable |
Please see ResInsight Python API for installation and configuration.
Octave is now detected searching the file system. If Octave is not detected, the following file path variable must be defined:
OCTAVE_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE : d:\octave\Octave-4.0.0\bin\octave-config.exe
It is possible to build ResInsight without compiling the Octave plugins. This can be done by specifying blank for the Octave CMake options. The Octave plugin module will not be built, and CMake will show warnings like ‘Failed to find mkoctfile’. This will not break the build or compilation of ResInsight.
ResInsight has been verified to build and run with Octave versions 3.4.3, 3.8.1, and 4.0.0 on RedHat linux, and 4.0.0 on Windows.
The following command line can be used as a starting point to install required libraries
sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential octave liboctave-dev qtbase5-dev qtscript5-dev libqt5svg5-dev qtbase5-private-dev
ResInsight can be built with support for ABAQUS ODB files. This requires an installation of the ABAQUS ODB API from Simulia on the build computer. The path to an ABAQUS ODB API folder containing header files in an include sub-folder and the library files in a lib sub-folder must be specified in the CMake option RESINSIGHT_ODB_API_DIR. Leaving this option blank gives a build without ODB support. ResInsight has been built and tested with ABAQUS ODB versions 2020 and 2024 on Windows 10/11, Redhat Linux 7/8 and Ubuntu 22/24.
HDF5 is used to read SourSimRL result files. On Windows this is optional, while on Linux the installed HDF5 library will be used if present.
Use an advanced flag RESINSIGHT_HDF5_BUNDLE_LIBRARIES to include HDF5 libraries in the installation package.
Tested with 1.8.18 on windows, and default installation on RedHat 6.
