 ## Installing ##
 
 Theses instructions has been used to successfully build LMGC90 on an Apple M1 Pro (Macbook Pro) with:
-* MacOS Sonoma 14.3
-* MacPort 2.9.0
+* MacOS Sonoma 15.5
+* MacPort 2.10.7
 
-The following instructions were working at the time of writing (spring 2023), and the version number of `gcc`
-package as well as python may have to be updated at a later date.
+The following instructions were working at the time of writing (summer 2025),

 ```
-sudo port install gcc13 hdf5 +fortran cmake +gui swig-python
-sudo port install py311-numpy py311-h5py vtk +python311
-sudo port install py311-scipy py311-matplotlib py311-pandas
+sudo port install gcc14 hdf5 +fortran cmake +gui swig-python
+sudo port install py312-numpy py312-h5py
+sudo port install py312-scipy py312-matplotlib py312-pandas
 ```
 
 Then you need to set the compiler and python as the default on your system:
 ```
-sudo port select --set python python311
-sudo port select --set python3 python311
-sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc13
+sudo port select --set python python312
+sudo port select --set python3 python312
+sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc14
 ```
 
+It is also recommended to install virtualenvwrapper and to create a environment
+for an easy installation of vtk python module:
+```
+sudo port install py312-virtualenvwrapper
+echo "export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON='/opt/local/bin/python3.12'" >> ~/.zprofile
+echo "export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV='/opt/local/bin/virtualenv-3.12'" >> ~/.zprofile
+echo "export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_CLONE='/opt/local/bin/virtualenv-clone-3.12'" >> ~/.zprofile
+echo "source /opt/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh-3.12" >> ~/.zprofile
+source /opt/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh-3.12
+mkvirtualenv --system-site-packages lmgc90
+python -m pip install vtk
+```
 and then download Paraview software from [here](http://www.paraview.org/download)
 
 To build the documentation:
 ```
-sudo port install doxygen graphviz py311-sphinx py311-numpydoc texlive-latex-extra dvipng ImageMagick
-sudo port select --set docutils py311-docutils
-sudo port select --set pygments py311-pygments
-sudo port select --set sphinx py311-sphinx
+sudo port install doxygen graphviz py312-sphinx py312-numpydoc texlive-latex-extra dvipng ImageMagick
+sudo port select --set docutils py312-docutils
+sudo port select --set pygments py312-pygments
+sudo port select --set sphinx py312-sphinx
 ```
 
 To read tutorials:
 ```
-sudo port install py39-jupyter
-sudo port select --set ipython py311-ipython
-sudo port select --set ipython3 py311-ipython
+sudo port install py312-jupyter
