notes on matlab software and exercises: |

|
Having the up-to-date matlab software (gcmfaces and MITprof) set-up is pre-requisite. |
|
|
|
|
|
1) if you did this set-up by following steps 1 and 2 of computing/iap-idma-readme (i.e. |
|
|
using setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh) then the ‘software exercise’ #1 is for you |
|
|
|
|
|
2) If you operate on a windows PC where shell scripting, cvs, etc cannot be relied upon, |
|
|
then ‘software exercise’ #2 below is for you. |
|

————————— |
|
|
|
|
|
1) in a terminal window, go to your copy of gcmfaces and update it using cvs, |
|
|
then do the same thing with MITprof. |
|
|
tip : see http://mitgcm.org/public/using_cvs.html |
|
|
|
|
|
2) set-up the matlab software manually |
