This Howto shows how to build WRF-Fire and run an ideal test case.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are given by the needs of building WRF.

  • NetCDF, must be built with the Fortran interface using the same compiler as used for WRF
  • MPI (for a distributed memory build only), must be built with the Fortran interface using the same compiler as used for WRF

Step by step directions

The following text is a placeholder only. The direction come here in near future.

  • Get WRF-Fire from the repository or a mirror.
  • Read the README.txt file in the root directory, and follow the step-by-step directions there.
