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.

To install Haskell Stack, follow these instructions, users without superuser (admin) permissions should follow the manual installation procedure.

$ git clone https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm
$ cd fpm/

Bootstrap fpm using:

$ cd bootstrap/
$ stack build

To test:

$ stack test

To install:

$ stack install

On Linux, the above command installs fpm to ${HOME}/.local/bin/.

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-data
• README.md – with your project’s name
• .gitgnore
• src/project_name.f90 – with a simple hello world subroutine
• app/main.f90 (if --with-executable flag used) – a program that calls the subroutine
• test/main.f90 (if --with-test flag used) – an empty test program

fpm understands the basic commands:

• fpm build – build your library, executables and tests
• fpm run – run executables
• fpm 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 specifc_executable. Command line arguments can also be passed to the executable(s) or test(s) with the option --args "some arguments".

See additional instructions in the Packaging guide.
