HOWTO install on VSC (for KU Leuven users)

If you are going to use COOLFluiD in the VSC cluster with your KU Leuven account, you don't need to install all the dependencies since they are already installed. That means that you DO NOT need to follow all the steps explained here. Instead, you want to follow the steps below:

• 1.- Make sure you have an VSC/Genius account and you can access it from your terminal. (Check this link if you don't have an account yet)
• 2.- Run wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrealani/COOLFluiD/master/tools/conf/VSC/install_COOLFluiD.sh
• 3.- (OPTIONAL) Edit the file install_COOLFluiD.sh and set the variables:

TOP_DIR: your data directory where COOLFluiD is downloaded (default: ${VSC_DATA});

COOLFLUID_TOP_DIR: the folder where COOLFluiD source code has been downloaded from github (default: ${TOP_DIR}/COOLFluiD_VSC).

• 4.- Make the installation script runnable: chmod u+x install_COOLFluiD.sh
• 5.- Run

./install_COOLFluiD.sh --download=2 to download, configure, compile and install COOLFluiD.

NOTE: If you don't want to download COOLFluiD but just recompile it, use --download=0 (only update, no configuration via prepare.pl) or --download=1 (update and configuration via prepare.pl) instead of --download=2 in the previous command.

Normally, the installation should work out-of-the-box without step (3), since the default settings are good enough. If you experience problems, before contacting VSC system support, please contact [email protected] or [email protected].
