-**Gadget Installation Walkthrough**+==Gadget Compilation Walkthrough== 
 +This page describes how to compile your own [[http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/galform/gadget/index.shtml|Gadget]] and libraries at CHPC. 
 +Before doing anything it is recommended that you create an installation directory (e.g installations) on your /export/home/username/ directory. This will help you avoid any super user conflicts. For the rest of this walkthrough I will refer to /export/home/username/installations/ as PATHINSTALL. 
 +  *Prerequisites 
 +    *[[http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/|Gnu Scientific Library]] version 1.15 or above. 
 +    *[[http://www.fftw.org/download.html|Fast Fourier Transform in the West]] version 2.1.5 is required for Gadget2. Do not use a later version. 
 +    *[[http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/lib-external/ 
 +szip/2.1/src/szip-2.1.tar.gz|SZIP]] version 2.1 or above. 
 +    *[[http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/prev-releases/|HDF5]] version 1.6 is required. Do not use a later version here. 
 +  *First, add these lines in your startup file .profile:<code> 
 +. /etc/profile.d/modules.sh 
 +module load sunstudio 
 +module load clustertools </code> 
 +These lines will help you to load openmpi and other tools that are required to compile and run Gadget. It is also recommended to add them to your job script. 
 +  *Compile GSL by following these steps:  
 +    *./configure --prefix=/PATHINSTALL 
 +    *make 
 +    *make install 
 +  *Compile FFTW-2.1.5 by following these steps: 
 +    *./configure --prefix=/PATHINSTALL --enable-type-prefix --enable-mpi 
 +    *make 
 +    *make install 
 +    *make clean 
 +    *./configure --prefix=/PATHINSTALL --enable-float --enable-type-prefix --enable-mpi 
 +    *make  
 +    *make install 
 + **Note that only FFTW-2.xx can be used because version 3.xx does not work with Gadget2.** 
 +  *Compile HDF5 by following these steps: 
 +First build SZIP by following these steps 
 +    *./configure --prefix=/PATHINSTALL --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes 
 +    *make 
 +    *make install 
 +After building SZIP build HDF5 by following these steps 
 +    *./configure -prefix=/PATHINSTALL 
 +    *make 
 +    *make install 
 + **Note that you need to use HDF5 version 1.6.x to avoid the latest changes in the HDF5 API.** 
 +  *Now compile GADGET by following the following steps: 
 +    *Find the Makefile and add the "CHPC" SYSTYPE on the list of SYSTYPEs listed and add this code <code>  
 +ifeq ($(SYSTYPE),"CHPC"
 +CC        mpicc 
 +OPTIMIZE =  -O3 
 +GSL_INCL =  -I/PATHINSTALL/include 
 +GSL_LIBS =  -L/PATHINSTALL/lib  -Wl,"-R /PATHINSTALL/lib" 
 +FFTW_INCL=  -I/PATHINSTALL/include 
 +FFTW_LIBS=  -L/PATHINSTALL/lib 
 +MPICHLIB = 
 +HDF5INCL =  -I/PATHINSTALL/include 
 +HDF5LIB  =  -L/PATHINSTALL/lib -lhdf5 
 +endif 
 +</code> 
 +  *make 
 +**GADGET is now compiled and you can test it by using one of the examples that come with Gadget download. You can also download a pdf version of this walkthrough {{mygadgetwalkthrough.pdf | here}}**
