## Prerequisites

To run mumax3.11, you need:

- An NVIDIA GPU with at least a compute capability 5.0.
- An up-to-date NVIDIA driver (compatible driver versions are listed below).
- Optional: gnuplot for plots in the web GUI.

To check your installed driver version and GPU compute capability, run the following command in your terminal:

    nvidia-smi --query-gpu="driver_version,compute_cap" --format="csv"

## Download and installation

Select the platform, NVIDIA driver and GPU compute capability (CC) for which you want to download mumax3.
Note: the CUDA versions shown in parentheses are informative. If you can not run the mumax3 executable, check if your GPU is supported by that CUDA version and downgrade mumax3 if necessary.

After downloading and unpacking the archive, you will have a mumax3 executable which is ready to be used. Note that mumax3 is a command line application, so it is a good idea to add the directory containing the mumax3 executable to the PATH environment variable.

## Alternative: building mumax3 from source

The source code of mumax3, with build instructions for Linux and Windows, can be found on GitHub.
