PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE BEFORE DOWNLOADING ANY OF
THE MPAS SOURCE CODE.
NOTE: If you intend to collaborate on a project,
please read the Developer's guide before beginning work.
The access method for the MPAS source code you choose will
impact development efforts.
The easiest way to acquire the MPAS source code is through the
archive file below. Although this is the easiest method, it is also
the least flexible.
The method used will largely be determined by your use case.
You should choose the method that aligns best with your use
case.
Archive files are provided both in zip and tar.gz formats. Each
release provides an archive file, and users should download
the archive file for the most relevant released version.
Our recommended method is to use git. This will allow users to
easily update the version they are working with, and it facilitates
the most direct method for contributing development back into the MPAS code
base. This comes with the caveat of having to know how to use
git. There are a few links at the bottom of this page that can
help you get started with git. The most immediately useful
tutorial is the GitHub fork tutorial, but the other tutorials
will help you with learning how to make use of git.
