How to build and run

Get WRF-Fire from the public mirror at github.com or repo.or.cz. Start from the README.txt file in the root directory, and follow the directions there. Access from the mirrors is read-only by git, or your can download a tar file. Access for developers uses a different git repository, see the README.txt file.

To run on real data, see the file doc/README_wps.txt from the root directory.

Documentation

See WRF-Fire#Documentation.
