Coastal Dune Model that includes updated vegetation and wrack dynamics.
To install the Coastal Dune Model from source, you will need to install some prerequisite packages.
- A C++ compiler
- CMake
- FFTW
If you are using Anaconda, these can be installed through the conda command.
$ conda create -n cdm --file=requirements.txt
$ conda activate cdm
This creates a new conda environment, cdm, with all of the prequisite packages installed.
To build and install cmake, run
$ mkdir _build && cd _build
$ cmake ../src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX
$ make -j4
$ make install
This will install Coastal Dune Model into your current conda environment.
To build the CDM on Windows, you will need to install a C++ compiler. The following instructions assume Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 or Microsoft Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017.
After you have activated the conda environment you created in the previous section, you need to set up your compiler by running vcvarsall.bat. This can be done from within the Anaconda Powershell Prompt by running the following,
$ & 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat' x86
You should now be able to run cmake and then compile the program in a way that is similar to with Linux and Mac,
$ mkdir _build
$ cd _build
$ cmake ../src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$env:CONDA_PREFIX
$ cmake --build . --target install
With the Coastal Dune Model installed following the above instructions, you
can run it with the coastal-dune-model executable that was installed in
<path-to-installation>/bin. If this folder is in your PATH,
$ coastal-dune-model params.par
