2. Obtain/install/load OpenMPI
3. Obtain/install/load native libraries `libBoSSSnative_seq.so`, `libBoSSSnative_omp.so` and `libBoSSSnative_mpi.so`\* Pre-compiled versions of these shared libraries for Linux can be found in the Windows installation, in the directory `$BOSSS_INSTALL/bin/native/linux/amd64-openmpi`. (There should also be a `zip`-File that you can unpack on any system.) \* If these pre-build libraries are not compatible with your system (we do our best, but binary compatibility across distributions is quite difficult on Linux), you will need to compile them yourself, the source code can be found at <https://github.com/FDYdarmstadt/BoSSS-native>, resp. <https://git.rwth-aachen.de/kummer/BoSSS-native>
