hMETIS - Hypergraph & Circuit Partitioning
hMETIS is distributed in a binary format and consists of a pair of stand-alone executable programs and a library, which can be used to call hMETIS's partitioning routines directly from another application.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
The first step in getting and using hMETIS is to download the distribution file for your architecture. The distribution of hMETIS consists of a Unix gziped tar file (except the Win32 binary which is zip file).
Older versions of hMETIS can be found here. | |||||
| Installing | |||||
After downloading hMETIS you need to uncompress and untar it. This is achieved by executing the following command:
gunzip hmetis-1.5-xxxxx.tar.gz tar -xvf hmetis-1.5-xxxxx.tarAt this point you should have a directory named hmetis-1.5-xxxxx. This directory contains hMETIS's stand-alone programs and hMETIS's user-callable library. | |||||
