Hi Siv & team! I've try to install following Juliens answer but i can't solve package dependencies, so i've decided to install from Sources last OpenStudio 2.4.0 version into Ubuntu 16.04 64 bits operating system ok :), following this steps:

  • Download last Source Code .zip or .tar.gz compressed file from https://github.com/NREL/OpenStudio/releases
  • Extract OpenStudio compressed file into your sources directory
  • If .zip: unzip file.zip -d dest_folder or if .tar.gz: tar xf file.tar.gz -C dest_folder

  • sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev git cmake-curses-gui cmake-gui libssl-dev libxt-dev libncurses5-dev libgl1-mesa-dev autoconf libexpat1-dev libpng12-dev libfreetype6-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxi-dev libxrender-dev libgeographiclib-dev chrpath

  • Install cmake from source:

  • wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.7/cmake-3.7.1.tar.gz
  • tar -xzf cmake-3.7.1.tar.gz
  • cd cmake-3.7.1/
  • ./configure
  • make
  • sudo make install
  • (check that your cmake is 3.7.1)
  • cmake --version

  • sudo apt-get install autotools autotools-dev automake

  • mkdir build

  • cd build

  • ccmake ../openstudiocore

  • press c to configure, and then press g to generate

  • make GenerateIddFactory

  • make GenerateIddFactoryRun

  • (still inside build directory)

  • make
  • (process run during a long time: hours)

  • sudo make install

  • OpenStudio installed from sources ok :)

  • To Get EnergyPlus version:

  • energyplus --version
  • openstudio energyplus_version

  • To Run OpenStudioApp application:

  • OpenStudioApp

Enjoy & Share ;) hugs, @tximikel
