Download Stable Releases

• CDAT is no longer available via tarball, instead it is distributed via "subversion".
• Subversion can be obtained at: http://subversion.tigris.org/
• Current version is:
• CDAT Version 5.2 (September 14h, 2009)
  

• svn export http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/svn/repository/cdat/tags/5.2 cdat-5.2-src
  

• Once you got the sources you can install CDAT as follow:

• # Now you need to build cdat, terms in between [] are optional
  ./configure --prefix=CDAT_BUILD [--with-externals=CDAT_EXTERNALS] [--with-python=MY_PYTHON] [--with-opendap]
  # use ./configure --help for a list of all options!
  
  # Clean previous build, just in case
  make clean
  # And finally make and build cdat
  make
  # You can now start CDAT with the command
  CDAT_BUILD/bin/cdat
  

• In addition 5.2 comes a few UNSUPPORTED binary tarball, these (and a tarball of the sources) can be found at:
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdat/files/Releases/5.2
• For more info on these binaries see this.
  

Download Bleeding-Edge Source Code via Subversion

• If you're brave or a developper you may want to access our development branch, this includes our latest version BUT may content unstable code.
• to do so follow these instruction:
• Create a directory to store your sources: CDAT_SRC, and choose a location where to build cdat: CDAT_BUILD
• Optionally you may decide on a directory where to install the externals libraries and programs needed by cdat CDAT_EXTERNALS (default is CDAT_BUILD/Externals)
• You can also use your own python if you want (it will still build packages in CDAT_BUILD, so you need to have write access to this location): MY_PYTHON
  

cd CDAT_SRC
# The first time do:
svn co http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/svn/repository/cdat/trunk .
# Thereafter, to simply obtain the changes since your last time simply do
svn update
# Now you need to build cdat, terms in between [] are optional
./configure --prefix=CDAT_BUILD [--with-externals=CDAT_EXTERNALS] [--with-python=MY_PYTHON] [--with-opendap]
# use ./configure --help for a list of all options!

# Clean previous build, just in csae
make clean
# And finally make and build cdat
make
