flash Installation Instructions¶
flash can be installed pretty similarly to amatos:
- Change into the directory
trunk/compile/[architecture]
where[architecture]
stands for anythink like linux_g64, macosx_intel, etc. - Find a Makefile in this directory. You have to change/configure it manually. In particular, you need to specify paths for access to required libraries: NetCDF, LAPACK, BLAS. These paths should be similar to those in the Makefiles for amatos!
- After correctly specifying these individual settings (some compiler options might also need some modifications), the following sequence of commands should work to get a first simple test version of flash running:
make maincopy
make Slot
make executable
- Make sure your environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X) is set correctly such that shared objects (and libamatos.so or limamatos.dylib is such a shared object) can be linked correctly.
- Issue the command
make datacopy
in order to copy required data files for running the test program. - Issue the command
./FLASH -b -f Parameters.dat
in order to test the program. - Optionally, you may start paraview in order to visualize the simple simulation results that are stored in files
Flash90_nnnnnn.vtu
for example.
Good success. In case of problems, you may ask the developers, but there is no guarantee for a quick response...
