This page explain how to download source code from the nairn-mpm-fea project on googlecode.com. The single source code package contains NairnMPM, NairnFEA, and NairnFEAMPMViz. After this downloading step is completed, you can move on to documentation for compiling the code engines. If you are enabled to use OSParticulas, you will get separate instructions for downloading its source code package.
Introduction
You must use Subversion (or svn) on your local computer to download the entire nairn-mpm-fea project from googlecode.com. The svn package is available for Mac and Linux as a command-line tool (see http://subversion.tigris.org/ if you need to install it). For Windows, one solution is to set up cygwin and use its version of svn. In each platform there may by other svn options as well, but this page is based on the command-line approach.
Once you have svn installed, you can either do an anonymous checkout or a password enabled check. Both these methods listed below get the current main trunk version. To get older versions (in case current main trunk version has issues), you can checkout a stable prior version instead. It is also possible various development versions will be available by checking out a branch instead of the main trunk.
Anonymous Checkout
This project is now hosted on Github. It was moved there on August 14, 2015 because Google Code terminated development options on August 25, 2015. To download the latest project, you can clone the nairn-mpm-fea repository using the following command lines:
cd 'Git Projects' git clone https://github.com/nairnj/nairn-mpm-fea.git
The first line moves to a folder (assumed to be already created) and the second line clones the repository in a new folder called nairn-fea-mpm inside the "Git Project" folder. You are now ready to work with the source code. You can use other clone methods as well.
Contributing to the Project
If you might want to contribute changes to the nairn-mpm-fea project, including changes to documentation or the project's wiki pages, or if you just want to have a visible presence in use of the code, you should create your own account on GitHub, fork this project, make changes, and then submit a pull request. More details are given in the GitHub help files.
Work on Project Versions and Branches
When using Git, you have a complete copy on the nairn-mpm-fea repository. You can use standard Git methods to "checkout" the version or branch you want to work on. The details can be found in Git documentation.
