HOWTO load VKI dependencies

NOTE: this is for VKI users only!

If you are a student or researcher at the VKI, you can totally skip the installation of dependencies described here. You can just load one of the existing installations, such as:

module load cf2-2015.11/openmpi

or in case you want to run MHD simulations on GPUs:

module load cf2-2015.11/openmpi-cuda

before compiling COOLFluiD: this will load all required dependencies and set all needed environmental variables (PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH). More choices are available (as shown by module avail), but using the most recent installation is strongly advisable.

In order to avoid to type the module load command again every time you login to a terminal, please consider putting

module load cf2-2015.11/openmpi 2> /dev/null

or similar, depending on your previous choice, directly into your $HOME/.bashrc or $HOME/.profile files.

If you want to use the pre-installed version of COOLFluiD, instead of compiling your own version, you can load:

module load cf2-2015.11/solver-openmpi-long (on machines with Fedora 20, with corresponding coolfluid.conf in /software/alternate/coolfluid/cf2/2015.11/trunk/coolfluid.conf.openmpi)

module load cf2-2015.11/f27/solver-openmpi (on machines with Fedora 27, with corresponding coolfluid.conf in /software/alternate/coolfluid/cf2/2015.11/trunk/coolfluid.conf.openmpi.f27)
