Obtaining SharpClaw¶

The current development version of SharpClaw can be obtained via Mercurial:

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ketch/sharpclaw

If you don’t have Mercurial, you can download it from http://mercurial.selenic.com/downloads/.

Alternatively, the most recent release version of SharpClaw can be downloaded from http://web.kaust.edu.sa/faculty/davidketcheson/Software.html.

Installing SharpClaw¶

You must set the environment variable SCLAW to the path where you put the sharpclaw directory. In csh the relevant line in your .cshrc file is:

setenv SCLAW /path/to/sharpclaw/

Then, to build the 1D code:

cd $SCLAW/lib/1d
make

Or to build the 2D code:

cd $SCLAW/lib/2d
make

If you have built the code for 1D and later need to rebuild for 2D, (or vice versa), it is necessary to make clean in the /1d/ directory.

Examples¶

To run an example, just cd to any subdirectory of examples/ and type:

make all

This will compile the executable, run the code, and create plots. Finally, you will be given a message directing you to open a webpage containing the plots.
