2. Installation

2.1. Libraries

To compile the h-NUMO model, one needs the following modules

gcc version 8 and above
openmpi
make
lapack
netcdf

2.2. Installation instructions

h-NUMO will need the mpi90 command in order to compile. It is up to the user to ensure that these packages exist on his computing platform.

  1. Clone the repository to a local directory

    • git clone git@github.com:ygahounzo/h-NUMO.git

  2. Go to the base directory of the repository

    • cd h-NUMO

  1. Install and compile h-NUMO

    Inside the h-NUMO directory type the following command to compile p4est and h-NUMO

    make hnumo

    Warning

    Sometimes simple make does not work, and you need to compile p4est

    • Compile p4est by typing from h-NUMO root directory

      make p4est/local/lib/libp4est.a

    • Export path to the p4est library

      To make sure this is exported every time you log-in, put the following line to ~/.bash_profile file:

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PATH:<path_to_h-NUMO>/p4est/local/lib

      where <path_to_h-NUMO> is the location where you have installed h-NUMO

      Just in case type source ~./bash_profile, and it is not a bad idea to include this source command in your run scripts

    • Compile NUMO by going to its directory and typing:

      make hnumo (check the config.user if you want to compile on a specific platforms)

Once you successfully make h-NUMO, additional directories will result. These are:

  • bin

  • depend.mk

  • include
