These instructions assume the machine you're using has already installed all the necessary software such as fortran compilers, MPI libraries, netcdf libraries, pnetcdf libraries, etc. See Configuration Management /wiki/spaces/ED/pages/1867951 for a list of necessary software to build/run ACME.

If you intend to do E3SM development, you should instead follow steps 1-12 in the Development Getting Started Guide and return to step 7 here. |
These steps assume you are a member of the E3SM project. Check the Configuration Management /wiki/spaces/ED/pages/1867951 page to see if your machine is supported.
- Sign up for a free account at http://github.com
- Email James Foucar (jgfouca@sandia.gov) and Submit a ticket to the SE/CG Testing & CI Support Help Desk and ask to be added to the E3SM private organization on github. Include your Confluence account name so he we can verify you're a member of ACMEE3SM. OR "fork" the model to your own github account.
Log on to the platform on which you want to run E3SM.
- Install an ssh key from that platform to your github account. See these instructions and note you can skip step 2 if you already have an ssh key on your machine.
- Clone the repository to your local account with: git clone --recursive git@github.com:E3SM-Project/E3SM.git This will create a directory called "E3SM" with the code.
- cd to the E3SM directory.
- OPTIONAL When running with an MPAS component: Currently (until a better solution is found), it's useful to go into the components/mpas-source/src/core_ocean directory and run the two scripts get_cvmix.sh and get_BGC.sh to download those libraries so they are later replicated by the case creation process below. It's not required, but will bypass some credential entry during later builds.
- You are now ready to create a case, build and run following the CIME quick guide. By default, you will be running the latest version of "master".

Follow steps 1-6 above. If you want to make it supported, treat the steps as code development (done on a branch) following the Development Getting Started Guide. You first have to tell the CIME case control system about your machine. Complete instructions are in CIME Porting Guide and summarized here.
