Getting started

The ExoChombo code can in principle be run in serial on a desktop machine. However, for most problems of interest one will need to run the code in parallel. Therefore the instructions here describe how to compile the code in parallel, and assume that you are running it on a remote cluster.

The keys steps, which are detailed in this section, are as follows:

1. Get and compile Chombo
   • Compiling Chombo
2. Get and compile ExoChombo
   • Compiling ExoChombo
3. Run one or all of the examples
   • Running examples

It is not unusual to have problems with steps 1 to 3, because the compilers can be fussy and vary from machine to machine. Some common issues are addressed in here.
