Installation

A CADET installation consists of two parts: The CADET core simulator and a frontend.

Install CADET core simulator

The core simulator can be compiled from source, or you can download pre-built binaries. If you want to extend or modify CADET (e.g., add a custom binding model), you will need to build CADET from source.

Install pre-built binaries

CADET can be installed via conda from the conda-forge channel.

conda install -c conda-forge cadet

Optionally, use mamba which uses a faster dependency solver than conda.

mamba install -c conda-forge cadet

Install from source

• Build for Linux

• Build for MS Windows

• Build for OSX

Install a frontend

CADET provides a Python API, called CADET-Python, which can be used to set the model input according to the Interface specifications section. Setting up the model using CADET-Python can become very tedious, especially for systems, and is outdated now that an actual frontend is available:

We recommend using the CADET-Process frontend, which facilitates modeling processes using an object oriented model builder. This interface layer provides convenient access to all model parameters in the system. It automatically checks validity of the parameter values and sets reasonable default values where possible.

Install CADET-Process

To install CADET-Process, open an anaconda shell or mamba shell and execute:

pip install CADET-Process

If you want to use CADET-Python, open an anaconda shell or mamba shell and execute:

pip install CADET-Python
