Download

GAMER is distributed on the GAMER GitHub repository. To download the code, you will need to install git (if not installed yet) and then type

> git clone https://github.com/gamer-project/gamer

If you have downloaded the code previously and want to update to the latest version, move to the code directory and type

> git pull

See guides.github.com for guides to git and GitHub.

Caution

To validate whether the downloaded code correctly retains the symbolic links used by GAMER, try

> ls -l gamer/src/SelfGravity/CPU_Gravity/

Correct: CPU_ExternalAcc.cpp -> ../GPU_Gravity/CUPOT_ExternalAcc.cu
Incorrect: CPU_ExternalAcc.cpp

If you get incorrect results, try adding either --config core.symlinks=true or --config core.symlinks=false to your git clone command.
