1.2. Quick Start

Clone the model from the CICE-Consortium repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/CICE-Consortium/CICE

Instructions for working with Git and GitHub with CICE (and Icepack) can be found in the CICE Git Workflow Guide.

You will probably have to download some input data, see the CICE wiki or Forcing data.

Software requirements are noted in this Software Requirements section.

Porting information can be found in the Porting section. A special porting section for personal computers is in the Porting to Laptops or Personal Computers section.

From your main CICE directory, execute:

./cice.setup -c ~/mycase1 -g gx3 -m testmachine -s diag1,thread -p 8x1
cd ~/mycase1
./cice.build
./cice.submit

testmachine is a generic machine name included with the cice scripts. The local machine name will have to be substituted for testmachine and there are working ports for several different machines. If you need to port, see the Porting section as noted above. Scripts provides more information about how to use the cice.setup and cice.submit scripts.

Please cite any use of the CICE code. More information can be found at Citing the CICE code.
