Compiling CFAST

Preliminaries

This page describes how to compile CFAST using command line tools

• Install (or update) the cfast GitHub repository
• Install the Intel or Gnu Fortran compiler and initialize it appropriately
• If you are working under Windows, install the GNU make utility.

Building CFAST

There is a general purpose makefile for CFAST compilation in the cfast git repository directory named Build/CFAST. To compile CFAST for your particular OS, do the following:

• Open a command shell and cd to the appropriate folder within Build/CFAST
• Type make_cfast.bat or make_cfast.sh, depending on your OS (for Windows, you can double click the .bat file)

If you get stuck, take a look at the make_cfast script to better understand what is actually happening. Chances are that there a different path name or compiler version number installed on your machine.
