How to download the examples

Clone the github repository with:

$ git clone https://github.com/gmatteo/cecam_tutorial_2017

If you don't have git on your machine, install conda following the instructions reported in the next sections and then:

$ conda install git

Organization of the package:

common.h:

Include file providing CPP macros

m_core.F90:

Low-level modules with constants and helper functions used in the other examples.

Each example is contained in a separated directory. Each directory contains a main.F90 source code, a Makefile to compile it, a README.md file and, optionally, a python script to analyze the results.

To compile the examples, we will use the gcc compiler and other external libraries provided by conda. Follow the instructions reported in the next section to install conda on your machine.

Install conda

If you are a Linux user, download and install miniconda on your local machine with:

$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
$ bash Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

while for MacOSx use:

$ wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
$ bash Miniconda2-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

Answer yes to the question:

Do you wish the installer to prepend the Miniconda2 install location
to PATH in your /home/gmatteo/.bashrc ? [yes|no]
[no] >>> yes

Source your .bashrc file to activate the changes done by miniconda to your $PATH:

$ source ~/.bashrc

Add conda-forge to the conda channels:

$ conda config --add channels conda-forge

Create a new environment based on python2.7 with:

$ conda create -n myenv python=2.7

and activate the new env with:

source activate myenv

Install the gcc compiler:

$ conda install gcc

Use the command:

$ which gcc

to show the location of the gcc compiler.

Now we are ready to start but before proceeding with the examples we have to run:

$ make

in the top-level directory to compile a tiny library (libcore.a) we are gonna use in the different examples. After this step, we are ready for the the first example in the ex_doloops directory.
