Obtaining ASPECT and initial configuration#
The development version of ASPECT can be downloaded by executing the command
git clone https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect.git
If $DEAL_II_DIR
points to your deal.II
installation, you can configure ASPECT by
running
mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..
in the ASPECT directory created by the
git clone
command above. If you did not set $DEAL_II_DIR
you have to
supply cmake with the location:
cmake -DDEAL_II_DIR=/home/username/deal-installed/ ..
This will create an “out-of-source” build, where the build directory is different from the source directory, which is the only supported option. (We do not support in-source builds where the source and build directory are identical).
