Installation

Note: The code available in this repository has been tested on Linux. Nonetheless, further adaptations may be put into place when the time comes.

There are two ways of downloading and installing this code:

Using Git

Run the following instructions as normal user:

Assuming you have git already installed and a working OpenFOAM installation, run:

mkdir -p $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
git clone git://github.com/wyldckat/localCCM26ToFOAM.git
cd localCCM26ToFOAM

Now check the list of branches that exist:
```
git branch -a
```
You should see something like this:
```
* master
  remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/of20
  remotes/origin/of21
  remotes/origin/of22
  remotes/origin/of23
  remotes/origin/of30
```
The ones that start with of indicate for which versions of OpenFOAM this repository is currently working.
So for example, if you are using OpenFOAM 2.1.1, then checkout the respective branch:
```
git checkout of21
```
On the other hand, if are using OpenFOAM 2.4, then you can simply use the of23 branch.
Now you can launch the build process:
```
./ccm26local
```
It will do everything pretty much autonomous, although midway it asks for you to read the details and then press the Enter keyboard key. It will then download the libccmio library source code from VisIt repository.

It should end with the last lines similar to these:

The output above has been logged inside the file 'build.log'.

If all went well, you can now learn how ot use this conversor by running the following command:
```
ccm26ToFoam -help
```
