Install

Instructions how to install the openEMS Project and its dependencies.

Most users build from source with update_openEMS.sh: install the dependencies, clone and build, then set up the scripting interface for the language they work in and verify the result. Ready-made packages exist for Windows and FreeBSD as a quicker start.
