This page will help you with installing SU2, as well as provide specific help with the way we use SU2.

Need to compile the code in order to run the solver. Once compiled for either a serial or multi-core system, you can run the CFD solver. The solver requires two inputs: a mesh grid and a configuration file.
Will add a few templates once we figure out realistic configuration cases for our rockets.
Will add a sample mesh once we have one.
Installation for personal computer:
Windows - install cygwin with g++, gcc, make, and cpp packages. You need to be able to compile C++ code. Need to figure which exact packages.
Mac and Linux - You already have a compiler, so download source code zip, unzip, and follow the tutorial on SU2’s site.
Tips:
Learn how to navigate around your computer using just your terminal
Understand how to edit .bashrc files
Understand how to change path variables in your terminal
If not compiling with cygwin due to some carriage return error, add this to your .bash_profile script (in your home directory)
<code>
export SHELLOPTS
set -o igncr
</code>
Installation for Corn
VNC help: https://web.stanford.edu/group/farmshare/cgi-bin/wiki/index.php/FarmVNC
Don’t bother attempting to move files around with Filezilla. Login to a VNC session and execute the <code>firefox</code> command in the terminal. Go to SU2's github repository and download everything there. Navigate to the zip file and
<code>unzip</code> the files. Navigate to the new path and execute these commands:
<code>
./configure --prefix="/afs/.ir/users/i/a/iangomez/SU2compiled/" CXXFLAGS="-03" --enable-mpi --with-cc=/usr/bin/mpicc --with-cxx=/usr/bin/mpicxx
make -j 8 install
</code>
Note: change the prefix to your directory! If you’re confused by this read
<code>./configure --help </code> or email Ian or your RCC.
Once it’s compiled, you need to add the export commands they give you to your .bashrc file:
<code>
export SU2_RUN="/afs/.ir/users/i/a/iangomez/SU2compiled/bin"
export SU2_HOME="/afs/.ir/users/i/a/iangomez/SU2-master"
export PATH=$PATH:$SU2_RUN
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$SU2_RUN
</code>
And obviously, change the paths to be correct. In order to find your .bashrc and open it in terminal:
<code>
cd
ls -al
vim .bashrc
</code>
Or you can open it in the GUI, by going to your home directory and pressing ctrl+h in order to show hidden files. Then double click your .bashrc file and add the specified lines.
Then go to the directory where you’ve compiled SU2 and run the following command on each module:
<code>
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_CFD
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_DEF
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_DOT
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_GEO
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_MSH
corn17:~/SU2compiled/bin> chmod +x SU2_SOL
</code>
Currently confused by how to run the code in parallel. Working on it.
Running sample code
The tutorial is really great. Read it. But also make sure to grab the sample mesh files from the separate test case repository: https://github.com/su2code/TestCases
You will need it to run the config files that come pre-prepped for you.
