local copy of built SWAN

The provided run scripts (swanrun and swanrun.bat) enable the user to properly and easily run SWAN both serial as well as parallel.

For Windows users, open a terminal (hit the Window key + R, type cmd and click OK), navigate to the folder containing your SWAN input files (command file, grid, bathymetry, etc.), copy and paste the following command, then replace <SWAN-command-file-without-extension> by the name of your SWAN command file without extension (assuming it is sws), and hit Enter:

swanrun <SWAN-command-file-without-extension>

while for Linux and Mac users, type in an opened terminal the following command:

swanrun -input <SWAN-command-file-without-extension>

Important

Open an Intel oneAPI command prompt in Windows if you have installed the Intel Fortran Essentials package.
In case of Linux/macOS, the script swanrun needs to be made executable first, as follows:
```
chmod +rx swanrun
```

To redirect screen output to a file, use the sign >. Use an ampersand to run SWAN in the background. An example:

swanrun -input mytest > swanout &

For a parallel MPI run, you must specify the number of processors <nprocs> that will be launched, as follows:

swanrun <SWAN-command-file-without-extension> <nprocs>

in case of Windows, or

swanrun -input <SWAN-command-file-without-extension> -mpi <nprocs>

in case of Linux/Mac. By default, nprocs = 1.
