I think i already did that but no progress at all. I activated firedrake then I copied the first example -Helmholtz- and saved as python file and try to run it via terminal. I attached the screen shot. Could you tell me where I am making mistake.? I am a new user. ________________________________ From: firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk <firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk> on behalf of Lawrence Mitchell <lawrence.mitchell@imperial.ac.uk> Sent: Tuesday, October 3, 2017 2:44:09 AM To: firedrake@imperial.ac.uk Subject: Re: [firedrake] where is firedrake... Hi Erdi, The install script installs firedrake in a venv (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) called firedrake in the directory you ran it in. You need to activate this venv (see http://firedrakeproject.org/download.html) in the shell before you can use firedrake: this is done deliberately so that we don't conflict with any system python packages.

However it doest show up in any of Python3 directories. Therefore, the command “ from firedrake import * “ never works. If you have any suggestion, I would really appreciate. Have a good day. _______________________________________________ firedrake mailing list firedrake@imperial.ac.uk<mailto:firedrake@imperial.ac.uk> https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/firedrake
