Installing GEOtop 2.0 on Linux

I receive from Matteo Dall'Amico and I publish the following instruction to compile GEOtop 2.0 from command line on Linux.

# Install the following packages (or verify you have them already):

# install GIT
sudo apt-get install git

#Install and compile MeteoIO libraries
See instructions here

#Install pkg-config
sudo apt-get install pkg-config

# install boost libraries
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-test-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-regex-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-program-options-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-iostreams-dev

# install autoconf
sudo apt-get install autoconf

# download GEOtop
git clone https://github.com/skyglobe/geotop#

# go inside the geotop folder
cd geotop










# create the makefile
ccmake .

# add the path of MeteoIO: /usr/local
# To process the file press "c" (like "configure") and then "g" (like "generate")
# make the project
make

#try geotop example
cd tests/test_sample_run/small_example

#create symbolic link
ln -s ../../../geotop/geotop geotop_TN

#run geotop_TN
./geotop_TN .

  1. Some feedback:
    you need to have ccmake version 2.6
    with newer version it does not work ...

  2. When I tried to compile for Mac OS X 10.7.5
    the apt-get command was not available
    I installed the boost libraries installing before MacPorts and then typing
    sudo port install boost

    see instructions here:

    1. Furthermore, John, which Linux distro are you using? Because there are Debian-based pre-compiled packages of GEOtop. You can find more instructions at https://growworkinghard.com/2015/08/27/intall-geotop-precompiled-packages-on-gnulinux/
