Precompiled MPB Packages for and Ubuntu
---------------------------------------

Precompiled packages of MPB are available for [Ubuntu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu) as **mpb**. The Ubuntu 16.10 package is available in the [science](https://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/mpb) repository. We highly recommend using Ubuntu as MPB and all of its dependencies can be installed using just one line:

```
sudo apt-get install mpb h5utils
```

You can also install the [parallel version of MPB](https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/science/mpb-mpi) which is based on [MPICH](https://www.mpich.org/) using:

```
sudo apt-get install mpb-mpi
