Installing the OpenIFS/AC sources

...

  • Create a new home for the OpenIFS/AC installation. Here we call this location /home/openifs-ac
  • Change into your new directory and unpack therein the original OpenIFS model sources:   tar xvzf oifs43r3v2.tgz
  • In a second step, in the same folder unpack gunzip the OpenIFS/AC sources :  tar xvzf and patch the original OpenIFS:
    • gunzip openifs-ac.43r3.v1
    .tgz
    • .gz
    • patch -p1 <openifs-ac.43r3.v1
Info

Note that some files of the original model will be replacedmodified. It is therefore essential to install the original OpenIFS 43r3v2 sources first before installing the OpenIFS/AC sources.

...

  • Change into your $OIFS_HOME directory where OpenIFS is installed:  cd $OIFS_HOME
  • In this directory extract the downloaded source package:   tar xvzf
    • gunzip openifs-ac.43r3.v1
    .tgz
    • .gz
    • patch -p1 <openifs-ac.43r3.v1
Info

Note that this unpacking will not only add new files to your existing $OIFS_HOME but it will also overwrite some of the existing files with updated versions required for OpenIFS/AC.
