Frequently asked questions

Access

How do I get the code?

Please create your account first with which you can then download the source. Thereafter, the source code is available both as a tar-ball (~200 MB) or you can simply browse it online. See the release notes for details on the source code structure and how to compile the code.


Documentation

Is there any kind of documentation. How do I start?

You can have a look at our release notes or README_Quickstart.txt. Additional source code documentation can be found here.

To compile the code you must have some recent fortran compiler installed (cf. this page). Simply go to the base directory and type

make renew
make

More details on the compilation process are given here. After successful compilation, the binary can be found in the testRun directory. To run the code, you need to prepare a job card defining necessary inputs. This job card is then used in the following way:

./main.x < jobCard

Sample job cards are given in the directory testRun/jobcards and some documentation is given here.

We propose you try compiling the code and running it using a sample job card first. We are on the way to document the job cards more properly. If you need assistance to write your own, please let us now.


Operating Systems

Which Operating Systems does GiBUU support?

GiBUU can be compiled and run on Linux, Windows or Mac OS X. The basic requirements are:

  • a modern Fortran compiler
  • make
  • perl or makedepf90
  • libbzip2

Other systems (like Solaris, BSD, etc) which fulfill these requirements may also work, but have not been tested.

While GiBUU is primarily targeted at Linux, it can also be run on Windows (via Cygwin) or Mac OS X with little additional effort. For details see:
