If all you want is a standard installation of deal.ii in Ubuntu (20.04 or later), the best way is to do it with the following commands -

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libdeal.ii-dev

sudo apt upgrade

You can also install previous versions using PPA as given in this link - deal.II Downloads (dealii.org)

Use candi only when you do not want the standard installation. Also, it is always good to give the *.log file when you have errors installing. It could be because of some improper dependencies. From the message log I can see that there's a problem with symengine. If you do not need that packages, you can comment the corresponding line in candi.cfg file and run the same commands as you did.

Best,

Raghunandan.

Thank you, sir, for promptly responding to the email. I am interested in installing Deal II version 9.4.0 using the candy command exclusively on Ubuntu 22.04.3. However, I have encountered an issue where the candy command installs version 9.4.2 by default, resulting in recurring errors as indicated below.

Could you kindly provide guidance on the procedure to install Deal II version 9.4.0 utilizing the candy command exclusively?

You can choose the appropriate tag depending on the version you want for candi. Click 'Tags' above the repository directories to check the available tags. Clone the repository with the appropriate release tag, and you should get the right version.

But, it is highly unlikely that it will solve the problem you are actually having - some of the dependencies have not been installed correctly. There is no way of knowing it unless you give the *.log file and not just the error message.

Also, why do you want to install it using candi, when you can install it using Ubuntu PPA?. It takes a total of 3-4 commands and comes with all the appropriate dependencies and is much easier.

Best,
Raghunandan.
