Question about running standalone

[aweaver1fandm]

I'm just wondering if it's possible to run FiniteFlow on Linux standalone without Mathematica. The idea would be similar to what can be done with FIRE6.

Hi, it depends on what functionality you need exactly. In the "exp" branch (which I hope to merge into the main branch soon), there's a Python (and C) API that covers a significant subset of finiteflow's features and does not depend on Mathematica.

If you need it for IBPs, however, I guess the main issue is that finiteflow (i.e. the code in this very repo) does not generate IBPs, and you'd need to generate them with an external program. A basic implementation of the Laporta algorithm on top of LiteRed is in the Mathematica package LiteIBP here, which can export the identities in a format compatible with FiniteFlow. But that, of course, requires Mathematica. Once, you've generated your system of equations, however, you don't need Mathematica to solve it and the Python interface is enough.
