Libraries installation:

1.- Check if triangle and tetgen/tetgen1.4.3 exist in the /kratos/external_libraries folder. If not, copy them there.

2.- Add the following lines to your configure.sh:

-DINCLUDE_TRIANGLE=ON                                                             \
-DTRIANGLE_INSTALL_DIR="/user_directory/kratos/external_libraries/triangle"         \
-DINCLUDE_TETGEN=ON                                                               \
-DTETGEN_INSTALL_DIR="/user_directory/kratos/external_libraries/tetgen/tetgen1.4.3" \

Note:

a. The /user_directory/ is the directory where your kratos folder is located.

b. The tetgen version used in this example is the 1.4.3, replace it according to your version.
