Testing a PyClaw installation and running an example

If you downloaded Clawpack manually, you can test your Pyclaw installation as follows (starting from your clawpack directory):

cd pyclaw
nosetests

This should return ‘OK’.

Running an example

Many examples of Clawpack simulations can be seen in the Galleries of all Clawpack applications.

To run an example and plot the results using PyClaw, simply do the following (starting from your clawpack directory):

cd pyclaw/examples/euler_2d
python shock_bubble_interaction.py iplot=1

That’s it. For next steps with PyClaw, see PyClaw Basics.
