Report bugs and comments to , please or post it at "http://www.mi.uni-hamburg.de/Forum.5807.0.html" ======================================================================= Requirements: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Following software components are necessary for running the models: 1. C compiler (cc, gcc, sunfc) 2. C++ compiler (c++, g++) 3. FORTRAN-90 compiler (gfortran, g95, f90, sunf90) 4. make utility (make, gmake) 5. X11 include (/usr/X11/include, /usr/X11R6/include) 6. X11 library (/usr/X11/lib64 /usr/X11/lib) ======================================================================= Optional for multi-processor (parallel) program execution: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- mpi message passing interface (mpich, openMPI) mpif90 compiler mpicc compiler mpirun execution script ======================================================================= The configure script tries to locate all necessary components. If something is missing, you have to install these packages. Most Linux distributions have these packages on board and all you have to do is, to mark these for installation in the software manager. All required software is available in free open source packages. ======================================================================= 1. Open a terminal window and enter the most directory. 2. Run "./configure.sh" in this directory 3. Type "most.x" or "./most.x" to run the "Model Starter". 4. Choose model "PUMA" or "Planet Simulator" with a mouse click. 5. Click on the button "Save & Run" for model building and execution. 6. For using more than 1 core you must have MPI (Message Passing Interface). 7. Standard resolutions are: T21 (64x32 grid), T31 (96x48), and T42 (128x64). 8. Per aspera ad astra Edilbert Kirk
