Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install suitesparse.x86_64 on Amazon Linux 2.

What is `suitesparse.x86_64`

suitesparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse matrices. The package includes the following libraries BTF permutation to block triangular form (beta) CAMD constrained approximate minimum degree ordering COLAMD column approximate minimum degree ordering CCOLAMD constrained column approximate minimum degree ordering CHOLMOD sparse Cholesky factorization CSparse a concise sparse matrix package CXSparse CSparse extended long int support KLU sparse LU factorization, primarily for circuit simulation LDL a simple LDL factorization SQPR a multithread, multifrontal, rank-revealing sparse QR factorization method UMFPACK sparse LU factorization SuiteSparse_config configuration file for all the above packages. RBio read/write files in Rutherford/Boeing format
