Configuration

To set up a SeisSol run, you need to do the following steps (assuming you are in the root directory of the code repository):

1. Install SeisSol on your machine.

2. Create your Parameter file

3. Copy any additional input files referenced in the parameter file (for example file with receiver coordinates) to your launch directory. The paths in the parameter file and the easi files can be specified relatively.

4. (For large mesh only) Create symbolic links (ln -s) to the mesh file(s) in your launch directory.

5. Make sure output and checkpoint directories exist.

6. Optional (highly recommended on clusters): set Environment variables and Running SeisSol for tuning.
