WRF Multi Operating System Install Toolkit

This is a BASH script that provides options to install the following Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF) packages in 64-bit systems:

  • Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF)
  • Weather Research & Forecasting Model Chemistry (WRF-CHEM)
  • Weather Research & Forecasting Model Hydro Standalone (WRF-Hydro)
  • Weather Research & Forecasting Model Hydro Coupled w/ WRF (WRF-Hydro Coupled)
  • Hurricane Weather Research & Forecasting Model (HWRF)

System Requirements

  • 64-bit system
    • Darwin (MacOS) Intel Chipset
    • Linux Debian Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc)
    • Windows Subsystem for Linux (Debian Distro, Ubuntu, Mint, etc)
    • CentOS based systems not supported
  • 150 Gigabyte (GB) of storage space

Installation

WRF-Install-Script using BASH

WRF Install scripts will install the WRF and WPS with the needed libraries(netcdf4 hdf5, mpich, zlib, libpng, jasper). You can choose the version that you want to install. These scripts are written for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux operating systems, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Pardus, etc.

Since WRF-Install-Script uses operating system libraries, it installs much faster than manually installing the libraries and then installing the WRF model.

You can download each version from the releases.

Currently only WRF4.5.2_Install.bash, WRF4.5.1_Install.bash, WRF4.5_Install.bash, WRF4.4.2_Install.bash, WRF4.4.1_Install.bash, WRF4.4_Install.bash and WRF4.3.3_Install.bash support Ubuntu 22.04. Therefore if you are using Ubuntu 22.04, please use WRF4.5.2_Install.bash, WRF4.5.1_Install.bash, WRF4.5_Install.bash, WRF4.4.2_Install.bash, WRF4.4.1_Install.bash, WRF4.4_Install.bash and WRF4.3.3_Install.bash, otherwise it will fail to build. All other releases will be updated soon to support Ubuntu 22.04.

To run the scripts, you should run the commands below.

For WRF4.5.2 with ARW option(default)

bash WRF4.5.2_Install.bash

or

bash WRF4.5.2_Install.bash -arw

For WRF4.5.2 with Chem option (WRF-Chem)

bash WRF4.5.2_Install.bash -chem

For WRF4.5.2 with Hydro option (WRF-Hydro)

bash WRF4.5.2_Install.bash -hydro

2nd script OR

- (Make sure to download folder into your Home Directory): $HOME ``` > cd $HOME

git clone https://github.com/1kaiser/WRF-MOSIT.git

cd $HOME/WRF-MOSIT

chmod 775 *.sh

./WRF-MOSIT.sh | tee WRF.MOSIT.log

- Script will check for System Architecture Type and Storage Space requirements.

- Once running the script users will be provided with options to select how the WRF_Master_Script will compile and install the various packages.
    - First option, Which compiler users want to use Intel or GNU compilers.
         - Please note that Hurricane WRF (HWRF) can only use Intel Compilers
    - Second option, Which graphic display package should be installed.  GrADS or OpenGrADS
    - Third option, Auto Configuration.  This allows users to have a one-click install
    - Fourth option, Secondary WPS geography file download choice.
      - Author of script reccomends selecting "YES" if user is unsure.
    - Fifth option, Optional WPS geography file download cohice.
      - Author of script reccomends selecting "YES" if user is unsure.
    - Last option, Pick which WRF software user wants to install
