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. Create the launch directory:

   mkdir launch_SeisSol
   

2. Copy all executables to the launch directory:

   cp build/SeisSol* launch_SeisSol/
   

3. Write path to the Maple directory to a file called DGPATH:

   echo $PWD/Maple/ > launch_SeisSol/DGPATH
   

4. Create your Parameter File

5. Copy any additional input files referenced in the parameter file (for example file with receiver coordinates) to your launch directory

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

7. Make sure output and checkpoint directories exist

8. Optional: set Environment Variables for tuning

Checklist for required files
