Installing WRF on Mandhan

Building the WRF Code

• Get the WRF zipped tar file
• WRFV2 from http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/get_source.html
• always get the latest version if you are not trying to continue a long project 
• transfer the zip file to mandhan using either sftp or scp
• login to mandhan, go to the directory you copied zip file to
• unzip and untar the file
• gzip -cd WRFV2.2.TAR.gz | tar -xf -
• again, if there is a later version of the code grab it, 2.1 is just used as an example
• cd WRFV2
• export NETCDF=/apps/netcdf-intel-3.6.6
• ./clean -a 
• ./configure
• choose one of the options
• usually, option "1" is for a serial build, that is the best for an initial test
• ./compile em_real (or any of the directory names in ./WRFV2/test)
• ls -ls main/*.exe
• if you built a real-data case, you should see ndown.exe, real.exe, and wrf.exe
• if you built an ideal-data case, you should see ideal.exe and wrf.exe
