Compile WRF-ARW
 

Copy and Untar the Source code


 

Configure WRF

**Note: Even though you will run WPS first, compilation of WPS depends on the successful compilation of the WRF code.

cd WRFV3

./configure

  1. Pick the machine and configuration of your machine from the list
    See Recommended options above
    Methods of running the code will differ depending on serial or DM compilation.

     
  2. Pick a nesting option
      Compile for nesting?
      (0=no nesting, 1=basic, 2=preset moves, 3=vortex following) [default 0]:

    Most common is "basic" (1)


  3.  

Compile WRF

./compile em_real >& log.compile

This might take a while to compile.
Once it is finished, check to see if these executables are present in the main/ directory:
wrf.exe, real.exe, and ndown.exe

ls -l main/*.exe

If not, check log.compile to look for compile errors (search for the string 'Error', for example).
