Description

We now install Nutils in a venv for every related tutorial. We could do the same for:

  • fmi runner
  • fenicsprecice
  • aste
  • micro-manager
  • SU2 adapter -> We don't have a package on PyPI yet
  • visualization scripts requiring pandas, matplotlib, polars

This is particularly important in Ubuntu 24.04, which forces using virtual environments for libraries.

Research direction

Review the existing virtual-environment installation used for Nutils and compare it with the listed tutorial entries, especially aste and the visualization scripts using pandas and matplotlib. Confirm the dependency setup for those tutorials on Ubuntu 24.04, while noting that the SU2 adapter has no PyPI package; done means the applicable tutorial packages install automatically.
