Step 3: Install Sienna

Sienna is a modular set of Julia packages. Add the packages for the application you need, then follow the Getting Started pages for a recommended learning path.

Sienna\Data

using Pkg
Pkg.add([
    "PowerSystems",
    "PowerSystemCaseBuilder",
])

Sienna\Ops

using Pkg
Pkg.add([
    "PowerSystems",
    "PowerSimulations",
    "StorageSystemsSimulations",
    "HydroPowerSimulations",
    "SiennaPRASInterface",
    "PowerAnalytics",
    "PowerGraphics",
])

Sienna\Dyn

using Pkg
Pkg.add([
    "PowerSystems",
    "PowerSimulationsDynamics",
])

Sienna\Net

using Pkg
Pkg.add([
    "PowerFlows",
    "PowerNetworkMatrices",
    "PowerSystems",
])

Install individual packages

If instead you want to add specific packages instead of the entire application, install the latest stable release for individual packages such as:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("PowerSystems")

Install from the development branch

To use the latest unreleased code on main for a package:

using Pkg
Pkg.add(; name = "PowerSystems", rev = "main")

These commands may take a few minutes to download packages and compile them.
