Installing SLYCOT to use the python-control toolbox
In order to use some features of the python-control
toolbox, you need to
have the Subroutine Library in Systems and Control Theory (SLYCOT)
installed. I issued the following commands to install it under Ubuntu
20.04:
$ sudo apt install cmake $ sudo apt install gfortran $ sudo apt install libopenblas-dev
The first line gives you cmake
which I thought it should have been
installed by default, but it wasn't the case. The second line installs a
FORTRAN compiler called gfortran
; there are others, but this is the one I
tried since it is suggested in the python-control
toolbox
documentation. Finally, I installed OpenBLAS by calling libopenblas-dev
,
which gives you access to BLAS/LAPACK dependencies.
The last thing I did was to install SLYCOT by calling:
$ pip install slycot
The documentation of the python-control
toolbox can be found
here. The python-control
toolbox has its own wrapper for SLYCOT and it can
be found here.
