Quick Start

Download the Code

Follow the instructions in Download to get the latest version of GAMER.

Setup Your Machine Configuration File

The machine configuration file is located under configs. This file contains the library paths, compiler types, compilation flags, and GPU compute capability. Check the existing configuration files to see if one matches your machine.

If no suitable configuration file is available, you will need to create a new one. Follow the instructions in Machine Configuration File to set up a configuration file for your machine.

If a configuration file matches your machine, you can set it as the default by running

sh tool/config/set_settings.sh --local --machine=your_machine

For example, setting --machine=pleiades with the above command will use the configs/pleiades.config machine configuration when compiling the code.
