The WRF-Fire source code is stored in a git repository hosted at the University of Colorado Denver's Center for Computational Mathematics. A git repository is a software version control system similar to CVS or SVN. In order to obtain the software from our repository, you must first download and install the git software.

Developers with write access must push changes to the math.ucdenver.edu server.

Download

We strongly recommend to use download by git, because it allows easy updates and identification of the state of all files in case of problems. The following public, read-only mirrors are available for anyone else wanting to track the changes to the code.

http://github.com/jbeezley/wrf-fire/
git clone git://github.com/jbeezley/wrf-fire.git
http://gitorious.org/wrf-fire
git clone git://gitorious.org/wrf-fire/mainline.git

The repository clone home pages allow you to browse the source code as well as examine changes and view the different development branches.

Read-only SVN access is also available through the github mirror.

svn co http://svn.github.com/jbeezley/wrf-fire.git

It is also possible to download the latest source code as a tarball or zip file from each mirror; however, this method is discouraged as it will be difficult to update to the latest version.

Update

You can update your files any time to the current version. If you have downloaded your copy by git,

git checkout master; git pull

Please be sure you work with the latest files before contacting us for support.
