MaRDI Packaging System: Simplifying Software Packaging

MaPS, short for MaRDI Packaging System is the working name for the software system created by TA1 Computer Algebra for Measure 1.4 Predefined software environments. MaPS provides a unified interface both, to package a software inside a functional environment (called a runtime), and to install a published runtime onto a computer system in a user friendly way. A publication describing this tool can be found at https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.05563 (arxiv) or https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-64529-7_26 (paywall) .

How does it work?

MaPS deploys packages including their complete library dependencies in an environment which does not conflict with other packages installed on your computer. Deploying runtimes is a one line command. Packaging a runtime is only a small overhead.
