Quick Start

To get started with BFORE, follow these five simple steps:

• install the MESA Software Development Kit (release 26.3.2 or later);

• download the BFORE source code;

• unpack the source code using the tar utility;

• set the BFORE_DIR environment variable to point to the newly created source directory;

• compile and install GYRE using the command make -j -C $BFORE_DIR.

For a more in-depth installation guide that covers alternative use-cases, refer to the Installation chapter. Otherwise, proceed to the next chapter where you’ll put together your first BFORE calculation.
