This is the repository of the Fortran Package Manager (fpm). If you are looking for fpm – packaging made simple instead, see jordansissel/fpm.
Fortran Package Manager is an early prototype. You can use it to build and package your Fortran projects, as well as to include supported Fortran dependency projects. As a prototype, changes to fpm’s behavior and inputs may occur as development continues. Please follow the issues to contribute and/or stay up to date with the development. As the prototype matures and we enter production, we will do our best to stay backwards compatible.
To report a bug report or suggest a feature, please read our contributor guidelines.
x86-64 binaries are available to download for Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Note: On Linux and MacOS, you will need to enable executable permission before you can use the binary.
e.g. $ chmod u+x fpm-v0.1.0-linux-x86_64
Github actions: to setup fpm within Github actions for automated testing, you can use the fortran-lang/setup-fpm action.
For other platforms and architectures have a look at the bootstrapping instructions.
Creating a new fpm project is as simple as running the command
fpm new project_name. This will create a new folder in your current directory
with the following contents and initialized as a git repository.
fpm.toml– with your project’s name and some default standard meta-dataREADME.md– with your project’s name.gitignoresrc/project_name.f90– with a simple hello world subroutineapp/main.f90(if--with-executableflag used) – a program that calls the subroutinetest/main.f90(if--with-testflag used) – an empty test program
fpm understands the basic commands:
fpm build– build your library, executables and testsfpm run– run executablesfpm test– run tests
The command fpm run can optionally accept the name of the specific executable
to run, as can fpm test; like fpm run specific_executable. Command line
arguments can also be passed to the executable(s) or test(s) with the option
-- some arguments.
See additional instructions in the Packaging guide or the manifest reference.
This guide explains the process of building fpm on a platform for the first time. If your platform and architecture are already supported, download the binary from the release page instead.
$ git clone https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm
$ cd fpm/You can use the install script to bootstrap and install fpm:
$ ./install.shBy default, the above command installs fpm to ${HOME}/.local/bin/.
To specify an alternative destination use the --prefix= flag, for example:
$ ./install.sh --prefix=/usr/localwhich will install fpm to /usr/local/bin.
To test that everything is working as expected you can now build fpm with itself and run the tests with:
$ cd fpm
$ fpm test
