JModelica installation for Ubuntu 16.04

Installing JModelica to paperspace (cloud) machine with 4 cores running Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit). I installed all of the required packages on a fresh install, but did not enforce the tested version numbers. This was done May 29, 2019. This isn't meant to be complete, but complementary to the installation instructions in the JModelica 2.2 manual.

Demo

cd /home/paperspace/JModelica/bin
./jm_ipython.sh

from pyfmi.examples
import fmi_bouncing_ball
fmi_bouncing_ball.run_demo()

Jupyter

I had to uninstall python-mzq to get Jupyter to install via pip. I also uninstalled python-matplotlib and install via pip to get plotting to work.

Conclusion

I hope this helped! (Talking to you, future self.)
