These instructions presume checking out the current AeroChem group tag: AeroChem-Heracles-5-2_b5.

How to Check Out and Build the Code

Find a place to store and build the code

The GEOS-5 (AGCM) source code checks out at about 55 MB of space. Once compiled, the complete package is about 1.3 GB. Your home space on discover may not be sufficient for checking out and building the code. You should consider either 1) requesting a larger quota in your home space (call the tag x6-9120 and ask, telling them you are doing GEOS-5 development work) or 2) building in your (larger) nobackup space (recommended). But consider, nobackup is not backed up. So be careful...

One strategy I like is to check the code out to my nobackup space, but then make symlink from him home space back to that. For example, if I have my code stored at $NOBACKUP/GEOSagcm, I would make a symlink in my home space to point to that like: 

% ln -s $NOBACKUP/GEOSagcm GEOSagcm
