pre-compiled binary packages

A pre-compiled binary distribution allows quick installation without requiring compilation. The SWASH v11.01 binaries are available for the following OS/ARCH:

• Windows 11 (AMD64)

• Linux Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (AMD64)

• macOS Monterey 12.7.6 (AMD64)

• macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 (ARM64)

Attention

• The above executables have been built using GNU fortran.

• These binaries are 64-bit only and, additionally, cannot be executed on multiple cores or threads.

• Be aware that you may run into compatibility issues when another OS version (e.g., Windows 7, 32-bit Windows 10) or distro (e.g., Linux Mint, Rocky Linux) is installed on your machine, or another CPU architecture (e.g., i386/i686, x86_64, AMD64, ARMv7, ARM64). If this is the case, then Docker might be a good alternative for you.

• The tarball files can be extracted in any folder (tar xzf SWASH-11.01-<OS>.tar.gz with OS = Linux or macOS) and has no further installation steps. However, do not forget to permanently add the /bin folder in your installed folder in your $PATH variable. Open a command line terminal and enter:

  echo export PATH=$PATH:/your-SWASH-folder/bin >> ~/.bash_profile
  

• The macOS executables require the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) package. Open a terminal (Applications > Utilities and search for the Terminal app), copy and paste the following command, and hit Enter:

  brew install gcc
