Installation Pre-requisites

 

 

Install Intel Fortran and C++ Redistributable Libraries

 

ParaGeo x64 windows versions require installation of Intel Fortran and C++ Redistributable libraries. To download the executable for their installation go to the link below:

Intel® C++ and Fortran Compilers Redistributable Libraries by Version

 

Or alternatively copy-paste the following address in your browser:

Once you are in the page it is recommended to download the version highlighted below:

ParaGeo Installation

 

 

Step 1: Copy the directory and the files to your local drive

 

Unzip/copy the parageo directory that contains the executable and the licence to your C:\ drive.  This will create the following directory structure:

 

 

 

 

Next step is to add the executable directory the path so that ParaGeo can be run from a DOS prompt in any directory on the computer.

 

 

Step 2: Create environment variables and set the path

 

In this step we need to create new environment variables and set the path to the executable directory drive.  To that end go to Windows Control Panel --> All Control Panel Items --> System, then click on advanced system settings

 

 

 

Then click on "Environment Variables", select "Path", click "Edit", and then add the executable directory to the path (which for the example above is):

 

C:\parageo\x64

 

(note that a semi-colon separates the items in the path).

 

 

 

 

 

Then create new user environment variables and set their values as follows:

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Check the installation

 

1.It is recommended to create a working directory where all simulations are going to be run. Such directory is recommended to keep it separated from the executable. For example C:\ParaGeoSimulations

2.Create a new sub-folder into your working directory. For example a sub-folder named "Test" which has the following path: C:\ParaGeoSimulations\Test

3.Copy the datafile in Tutorial Examples\Intro_001\Case01\Data\Intro_001_Case01.dat to your "Test" folder

4.Open a DOS Command Prompt instance and point it to the "Test" directory

5.Run ParaGeo by typing:        parageo Intro_001_Case01

6.The code should start the simulation and within a few seconds the "Parageo completed successfully" message should be shown in the screen
