Modular HF Simulator

Setting Up

The simulator was developed in Spyder, with Python, on a Windows machine.

• Setting up the Spyder Environment
  • Install Spyder
    • https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/installation.html
    • This is a good start. But, we still need more libraries.
  • Install Miniconda
    • https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/miniconda-install/
    • This'll let us install the necessary libraries.
  • Initialize the Conda environment used for development, in the Git Repo
    • https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html
    • Install necessary libraries
  • Point the Spyder Python Interpreter to the Conda environment interpreter
    • Tools > Preferences > Python Interpreter > Use the following Python Interpreter:
    • C:\Users\...\HF-Prop-Sim\envs\python.exe
    • From this point, EarthMap_PlusData.py should be able to run
  • Set up Fortran Compiler for IRI2016
    • https://www.scivision.dev/install-msys2-windows/
    • After installing, from within the MSYS2 prompt:
      • pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc
      • pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-fortran
      • Locate CMake directory. Suppose it's at /mingw64/bin/cmake.exe
      • nano ~/.bashrc
      • export PATH=/mingw64/bin/cmake.exe
    • Then, go to System Properties in Windows.
      • Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to Path
    • Restart Spyder From this point, IRI2016_Sample.py should be able to run
