## Qucs-S: Quite universal circuit simulator with SPICE
|
|
|
|
Qucs-S provides a fancy graphical user interface for a number of popular circuit simulation
|
|
engines. Qucs-S contains libraries for schematic capture, visualization and components. The following
|
|
simulation kernels are supported:
|
|
|
|
* Ngspice (recommended)
|
|
* Xyce
|
|
* SpiceOpus
|
|
* Qucsator (non-spice)
|
|
|
|
|
|
See the https://ra3xdh.github.io/ for more details. Qucs-S is based
|
|
on original Qucs code: https://github.com/Qucs/qucs
|
|
|
|
## Donation
|
|
|
|
Qucs-S accepts donation using Boosty platform: https://boosty.to/qucs_s
|
|
|
|
## Build instructions
|
|
|
|
Use CMake to build Qucs-S. Install all necessary dependencies: GCC, Qt, and SPICE
|
|
(optional). For Ubuntu launch the following command to install development tools:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential git cmake qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev qtscript5-dev libqt5svg5-dev
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Install `ngspice` that is not needed for build but serves as the simulation kernel.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
sudo apt-get install ngspice
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Then clone this git repository and execute in the top directory:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
mkdir builddir
|
|
cd builddir
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your_install_prefix/
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Where `/your_install_prefix/` is desired installation directory. Substitute any
|
|
desire path (for example `$HOME/qucs-s`) here. You may omit this option and
|
|
installation steps. Default installation directory will be `/usr/local` if
|
|
`CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` is not defined.
|
|
|
|
Then run `qucs-s` executable to launch the application:
|
|
~~~
|
|
cd /your_installation prefix/bin
|
|
./qucs-s
|
|
~~~
|
