Create your local installation of OpenIFS 48R1.0 by cloning or branching from the git repository with the OpenIFS package. The location will be your new OIFS_HOME place.
You will need approximately 4 GB of disk space for the model sources, the bundle packages, and the built model binaries.

Environment variables
For proper functionality the OpenIFS requires a small number of Linux environment variables.
The most important environment variable is OIFS_HOME, which describes the location of the OpenIFS model installation. The path where the git repository is extracted to will be set to $OIFS_HOME.
For example, if you clone the repository into your $HOME directory, you should set: OIFS_HOME=$HOME/openifs-main-git/openifs_48R1.0/
This variable could be set in your shell configuration (e.g. in .bashrc) or in a separate OpenIFS platform configuration script, which we will be discussing in a later section and which could be loaded prior to using OpenIFS.
Build OpenIFS
The $OIFS_HOME/bin/openifs-test.sh script can be used to build the model and run initial tests.
