openPMD Formulas for Homebrew

This Homebrew formula installs provides recipes to build openPMD libraries and tools on your macOS or Linux system.

TL;DR: Just execute

brew update
brew tap openpmd/openpmd
brew install openpmd-api

If you are not using CMake, you might want to set this environment hint:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openpmd-api)/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

NOTE

This is quite an experimental installation method. Please open an issue in any case when trying this, we welcome any feedback on it!

user-side work-around: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openpmd-api)/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

brew help, man brew or check Homebrew's documentation.

With brew test openpmd-api you can check if the formula is working properly. Note the formula needs to be installed before it can be tested.
