Multi-Physics Problem (MPP) library is a standalone library that solves biophysics problems relevant to global land surface models (LSMs).

• Mac
• Git
• C and Fortran compiler
• CMake
• PETSc
• Message Passing Interface

1. Clone PETSc and check out the supported version.

cd <directory-of-choice>
git clone https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc petsc
cd petsc
git checkout v3.8.3

2. Configure PETSc. (Detailed PETSc installation instructions are available here)

2.1. Set PETSc installation location and architecture

export PETSC_DIR=$PWD
export PETSC_ARCH=<user-defined>

2.2. Set compilers

# Set compilers
export CC=<Parallel-C-compiler>
export CXX=<Parallel-C++-compiler>
export FC=<Parallel-Fortran-compiler>
export MPIEXCE=<Path-to-mpiexec>
export BLAS_DIR=<Path-to-BLAS-dir>

On Mac OS X, one can set BLAS_DIR to /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/Current/Accelerate

2.3. Run configure

./configure \
--with-cc=$CC   \
--with-cxx=$CXX \
--with-fc=$FC \
--with-mpiexec=$MPIEXEC \
--with-blas-lapack-lib=$BLAS_DIR

3. Build PETSc

make PETSC_DIR=$PETSC_DIR PETSC_ARCH=$PETSC_ARCH all

4. Test PETSc installation

make PETSC_DIR=$PETSC_DIR PETSC_ARCH=$PETSC_ARCH test

1. Clone MPP repository from github.com.

cd <directory-of-choice>
git clone https://github.com/MPP-LSM/MPP

2. Configure MPP

cd MPP
make CC=$CC CXX=$CXX FC=$FC config

3. Build MPP

make CC=$CC CXX=$CXX FC=$FC install

4. Run MPP tests

make CC=$CC CXX=$CXX FC=$FC test
