    #  0) TWO WAYS OF DOWNLOADING MESONH
    #  =================================
    #
    #  MESONH sources and executables 
    #  http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr
    #  are developed and maintained with the
    
    #
    #  There are two ways to download the package of
    #  MESONH containing :
    #    - sources 
    #    - makefiles
    #    - precompile exe 
    #    - graphic tools
    #    - basic examples
    #
    #  The first way is for VERY BASIC USER OF MESONH 
    #  via a download of a "tar ball" in the WEB site of MESONH
    #
    #  The second way is for USER/DEVELOPER of MESONH
    
    #  via the use of Git and an anonymous ssh connection to the Git repository of
    #  the MESONH package 
    
    # REM: It is now strongly recommended, but not mandatory, 
    #      for all users to use the Git solution, because:
    
    #
    #      * It's far more easy for us ( support team ) to give you some assistance
    
    #        in case of trouble... as Git permits us to know exactly
    
    #         what you have changed in the original PACKAGE
    #
    
    #      * It's much more easy for you to update to the last version...  
    #        or at least see the change made for BUGFIX directly on our
    #        installation.
    
    #  Following, are presented the two mutually exclusive ways to get the MesoNH
    #  package:
    
    #
    #
    ^L
    # I-A) DOWNLOAD VIA THE WEB MESONH HOME PAGE
    # ==========================================
    #
    # With your preferred web browser go to the MESONH WEB SITE
    
    #  http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr/mesonh
    #     ---> Download
    #
    # or directly
    #
    
    # http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr/mesonh/dir_open/dir_MESONH/MNH-V5-5-1.tar.gz
    
    # Then untar the file "MNH-V5-5-1.tar.gz" where you want to.
    
    tar xvfz MNH-V5-5-1.tar.gz
    
    #  Process now to the chapter to configure the MesoNH package.
    
    #
    # => II) CONFIGURING THE MESONH PACKAGE
    #
    ^L
    
    # ===============================
    #
    
    # In order to clone the Meso-NH git repository that contains sources, compiled
    # libraries and binary tools, the git LFS extension is required to handle
    # binary (or large) files. So before starting, be sure:
    
    #  * to have git v1.8.2 or higher installed on your workstation. You can run
    #    and check with:
    
    git --version
    
    #  * to install the git LFS extension (not included by default in the Git
    #    package):
    #    - get the linux git-lfs archive from the "Download v1.X.Y (Linux)" link on
    #      the web page https://git-lfs.github.com/
    #    - extract the archive and copy the git-lfs binary in your $HOME/bin (the
    #      provided install.sh script doesn't need to be executed)
    #    - from any directory, you can now execute:
    
    git lfs install
    
    #      that will set up some filters under the name "lfs" in the global Git
    
    #  * Download the private key to access the anonymous Meso-NH Git server (read-
    #    only access) by following the next link:
    
    http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr/mesonh55/GitSources?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=anongitmesonh.key
    
    #  * Copy/paste the following lines and add them in your $HOME/.ssh/config file
    #    (create the file if it is missing):
    
    Host anongit_mesonh
      User anongit
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/anongitmesonh.key
      Hostname 195.83.22.22
      Port 22222
    
    # This is necessary to disable the certificate checks because a self-signed
    # certificate was used for the LFS server.
    #
    
    #    c) Cloning the Meso-NH Source repository on the developpement branch MNH-55-branch
    
    #    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    # Finally you can clone the Meso-NH Git repository with the following command:
    
    git lfs clone anongit@anongit_mesonh:/gitrepos/MNH-git_open_source-lfs.git -b MNH-55-branch MNH-V5-5-1
    
    # that will create the MNH-V5-5-1 directory containing a clone (copy) of the
    
    # Meso-NH package on the remote developpement branch MNH-55-branch
    
    #   d) Checking out a given version of MESONH
    #   -----------------------------------------
    
    # Once the repository is cloned, it's better for you to checkout your own branch
    
    # (by default, you are on HEAD of the MNH-55-branch development branch  ).
    
    # To create your local branch corresponding to the V5-5-1 version, type:
    
    cd MNH-V5-5-1
    git checkout -b MYB-MNH-V5-5-1 PACK-MNH-V5-5-1
    
    # MYB-MNH-V5-5-1 is the name of the local branch you created
    
    # PACK-MNH-V5-5-1 is the remote/origin tag on which it is based.
    
    # The advantage of this way of downloading the package is that in the future
    # you could check/update quickly differences with the new version of the
    # package without having to download entirely the full package.
    
    #  Suppose that a new version, for example "PACK-MNH-V5-5-1", is announced.
    
    git diff HEAD PACK-MNH-V5-5-1
    
    #  To go to the new version, you can, for example, create a new local branch:
    
    git checkout -b MYB-MNH-V5-5-1 PACK-MNH-V5-5-1
    
    # At any time, you can also check for "uptodate" changes in the Git branch
    
    # dedicated to the MNH55 version before the official release of the "bugN+1"
    
    git diff HEAD MNH-55-branch
    
    # And, test this development (not yet official) version by going to this branch:
    #
    
    
    git checkout --track origin/MNH-55-branch
    
    #
    #    e) Cloning the Meso-NH Documentation repository
    #
    # In a similar fashion, you can clone the Meso-NH documentation Git repository
    # with the following command:
    
    git clone anongit@anongit_mesonh:/gitrepos/MNH-DOC.git
    
    #
    # that will create the MNH-DOC directory containing the latest LaTeX sources of
    # the Meso-NH documentation.
    
    #  Well, the use of git is not under the scope of this "INSTALL" document...
    
    #
    #   => II) CONFIGURING THE MESONH PACKAGE
    #
    #
    ^L
    #
    # II) CONFIGURING THE MESONH PACKAGE
    # ==================================
    #
    #    For the installation process, you could now
    #    use the "./configure" script like this 
    #
    
    
    cd ~/MNH-V5-5-1/src
    
    ./configure
    . ../conf/profile_mesonh
    
    #
    #    this will create a configuration file "profile_mesonh" with
    #    an extension reflecting the different "choices" made automatically
    #    to match the computer on which you want to install MESONH
    
    #    WARNING :
    #    =========
    
    #    On GENCI & ECMWF & METEO/CNRM & METEO/DSI  computers, the './configure' is tuned to 
    
    #    identify the computer on which the command is used
    
    #    are automatically chosen
    # 
    
    #    To install this version on one of these machines, go to the chapter
    #
    #    => VI) COMPILING/INSTALLING ON GENCI & ECMWF & METEO COMPUTERS
    #
    #    else follow the guidelines below.
    #
    
    #    /!\ This is not the case in your "own" personal Linux computer ...
    #    So is up to you to set the ARCH variable correctly
    #    ARCH     = Fortran compiler to use,
    
    #    OPTLEVEL = 
    #    etc ...
    
    #
    #   - the compiler choosen to be "gfortran" => ARCH=LXgfortran
    
    #   - the MPI library to be the MPIVIDE  => VER_MPI=MPIVIDE
    #     ( empty MPI library coming with MESONH package = no parallel run possible )
    #   - the level of optimization for the compiler  => OPTLEVEL=DEBUG
    
    #     (  for development purpose ,fast compilation & debugging )   
    #       
    #    SO IF NEEDED:
    #    ============
    
    #    you could change the default FLAG compiler/MPI/optlevel
    
    #    like this, for example 
    
    export ARCH=LXifort        # Use Intel "ifort" compiler on LX=linux Plateform 
    export VER_MPI=MPIAUTO     # Use MPI with compiler wrapper 'mpif90', for computer having this wrapper installed 
    
    export OPTLEVEL=O2         # Compile in O2, 4 times faster then DEBUG, but less error checks
    
    
    ./configure
    
    #    and then source/load the new generate file
    
    
    . ../conf/profile_mesonh.LXifort.MNH-V5-5-1.MPIAUTO.O2
    
    #  - Options specific to compiling/architecture, like 'OPTLEVEL' are defined inside the "Rules.${ARCH}.mk" .
    
    #
    #  - Options specific to library like "mpi"="VER_MPI" or "cdf"="VER_CDF" are defined inside "Makefile.MESONH.mk"
    #
    
    #  - If needed, for adaptation to your requirements, look inside the files and changes options for your needs.
    
    #  - On PC-Linux, if needed, look at the "MesonhTEAM Wiki" to know how to compile the OpenMPI library with MESONH:
    
    #
    #    http://mesonh.aero.obs-mip.fr/teamwiki/MesonhTEAMFAQ/PC_Linux
    #      --> Compilation of OPEN-MPI
    
    ^L
    #   
    
    # III) COMPILING/INSTALLING THE MESONH PACKAGE ON YOUR LINUX COMPUTER 
    # ===================================================================
    
    #
    # go to the directory  "src"
    #
    
    
    cd  ~/MNH-V5-5-1/src
    
    
    #
    # if you have not already configured your MESONH environment
    # either manually in your interactive session 
    # or automatically through your .profile (or .bashrc), do:
    #
    # REM: use the configure file corresponding to your needs, cf. previous chapter 
    
    . ../conf/profile_mesonh{use_the_good_version_here} 
    
    #
    # run the compilation by
    #
    
    (g)make
    
    #
    # The compilation will take about 20 minutes on modern PC-Linux ...
    # 
    # If you have a multi-processor machine you can speedup
    
    
    #
    #
    # The  object files "*.o"  &  main executables of the "MESONH PACKAGE" :
    #
    #  MESONH , PREP_IDEAL_CASE , PREP_REAL_CASE , etc ...
    #
    #  are compiled in one step and created in the directory
    #
    #    dir_obj-$(ARCH).../MASTER
    #
    # ( REM: the lib...a is only created and removed at the link phase;
    #          this allows a parallel compilation of the sources ... ) 
    #
    # The exact name of this "dir_obj..." depends on the different environnement
    # variables set by the "profile_mesonh...." which you have loaded before the compilation.
    #
    
    # This allows by loading different "profile_mesonh.." files to compile in the same
    # source/installation directory different versions of MESONH , with different
    # compilers, different versions of MPI, different USER sources...
    
    #
    #
    # To install the new compiled program in the "$SRC_MESONH/exe"
    # directory, after compilation, just run
    #
    
    make installmaster
    
    #
    
    # The executables with their full name, including $ARCH, compiler,
    # MPI and level of optimization, will be linked in the "../exe" directory
    
    #      The "make installmaster" need to be done only one time by "version". 
    #      If you only change/add source, you have to do "make" 
    
    
    make
     
    #
    #  IV) RUN SOME "SMALL KTEST" EXAMPLES
    #  ===================================
    #
    
    #  some basic "KTEST" examples from the "src" directory 
    #  by running:
    
    make examples 
    
    # or by giving one of the "KTEST" names in 
    #
    # the list "001_2Drelief 002_3Drelief 003_KW78 004_Reunion 007_16janvier"
    
    make 004_Reunion
    
    #
    #  EXAMPLES USING NCL
    #  ===================
    #
    #  WITH 2 OPTIONS TO CONVERT FROM LFI TO NETCDF FORMAT
    #  1: with extractdia
    #  2: with lfi2cdf
    #  Only for 2 KTEST : 004_Reunion and 007_16janvier
    #
    
    make ncl1_examples  # if using extractdia
    
    #or
    
    make ncl2_examples  # if using lfi2cdf
    
    #
    # Or by giving the KTEST name followed by _ncl1 or _ncl2
    #
    
    make 004_Reunion_ncl1
    
    #or
    
    make 004_Reunion_ncl2
    
    ^L
    #
    #  V) RECOMPILING YOUR OWN SOURCES ONLY 
    #  ====================================
    #
    #  NOW YOU COULD GENERATE AND RECOMPILE YOUR OWN SOURCES ONLY
    #  ( like BIBUSER in centralised MESONH version )
    #
    #  Suppose you want to create a "MY_MODIF" version ...
    #
    # Step-1 : prepare your source directory
    # ---------------------------------------
    #
    
    # Put your own sources in a subdirectory of "${SRC_MESONH}/src" named 
    
    #  
       
    ${SRC_MESONH}/src/MY_MODIF
    
    #
    
    #  All subdirectories in "MY_MODIF" will be scanned. So if you want,
    
    #  you could make a subdirectory for each component of the MESONH
    #  Package
    #
    
    cp .../mesonh.f90 MY_MODIF/MNH/.
    cp .../isba.f90   MY_MODIF/SURFEX/.
    
    #
    #  /!\ WARNING :
    #  -------------
    
    #   - In this subdirectory, put only fortran source you want to compile !!!
    #   Don't use it as a trash with old sources file like 'my_source.f90.old'
    
    #   or 'tar' files 'mysource.tar' . 
    
    #   - All 'spirituous' file will confuse the 'make' command.
    
    #
    #   
    # Step-2 : configure/compiling with VER_USER=...
    # ----------------------------------------------
    # 
    
    # - Logout of the current session to be sure to unset all the 
    #   environnement variables loaded with the your 'master 'profile_mesonh'
    
    #
    #   - set the variable "VER_USER" with the name of your "USER VERSION",  
    
    #   - set also the optional ARCH, VER_MPI... you want to use.
    
    
    #export ARCH=...
    #export VER_MPI=...
    export VER_USER=MY_MODIF
    ./configure
    
    #
    # this will regenerate the "profile-mesonh" file and a copy
    # of this with the extent  "profile_mesonh...${VER_USER)..."
    #
    # as before load it & and compile with the command "make user"
    
    
    . ../conf/profile_mesonh...${VER_USER}...
    
    # this will compile only your sources and the files depending on your sources
    # and generate the new executables in your own directory
    
    #
    #   dir_obj-$(ARCH).../${VER_USER}
    #
    #
    # WARNING : 
    # ========
    
    #  Before compiling your own sources be sure that these ones
    #  are younger than the "*.o" files of the MASTER directory.
    #  If any doubt, at any time use the command
    
    #
    #      touch *.f*
    #
    #     on your sources, and only on yours do that!!!
    #
    #
    # Step-3 : running the examples 
    # -----------------------------
    #
    #
    
    # Now if the compilation is OK, you could test this new version with the "make examples".
    
    # First, install the new binaries in the '${SRC_MESONH}/exe' with
    
    #   The "make installuser" needs to be done only one time by "version".
    
    # And run the examples. Your version should appear in the name of the used executables.
    
    #   VI) COMPILING/INSTALLING ON GENCI & ECMWF & METEO & CALMIP COMPUTERS
    #   ====================================================================
    
    #
    #   After downloading "exactly" like on "any standalone PC" 
    #   run the "./configure" command :
    #
    
    ./configure
    
    #
    
    #  - If you do not have sufficient space in your "$HOME" directory,
    
    #    install the whole package directly on the ${WORKDIR}
    
    #    /!\  the name of the WORKDIR differ in the differents computer center
    #    read the doc , most of them manage disk space throw 'multi-projet' with only one unique login . 
    
    #
    #   WARNING :
    #   ======== 
    #    - Think to do a backup of your installation 
    
    #    - This space is no "purged" but a "crash disk" could/will
    
    #      probably occur !!!
    # 
    
    cd $WORKDIR
    
    
    ./configure
     
    #   
    #   Due to limitation in time & memory on interactive connection 
    
    #   in some computer you have to compile the MESONH PACKAGE in batch mode with the different "job_make_mesonh*" files

    #   ----------------------------
    #
    
    #   - to install MESONH go to your $PERM directory
    #     if you need more disk space than allowed for 'standard' user 
    
    #     Ask to Dominique Lucas, look this email :

    #
    #   - for the compilation use :
    
    
    #
    # REM : On CRAY computer cca , I switch the default compiler to the INTEL one .
    #      Some trouble with the is the CRAY one = crayftn .
    
    #
    #   - At Meteo-France DSI on beaufix (or prolix)
    #
    #  to install the whole package on your "$HOME" directory
    
    #  untar the file "MNH-V5-5-1.tar.gz" from its location :
    
    tar xvf $MESONH/MNH-V5-5-1.tar.gz
    
    ./configure
    
    #
    #   Due to limitation in time & memory on interactive connection
    #   then compile the MESONH PACKAGE in batch mode with the job_make_mesonh_BullX file :
    
    sbatch   job_make_mesonh_BullX
    
    #   This job does : gmake -j 4
    #   then : make installmaster
    
    #   To run basic KTEST examples :
    
    sbatch   job_make_examples_BullX
    
    #   Step-2 : configure/compiling with VER_USER=...
    # ----------------------------------------------
    #  In a new session set the variable "VER_USER" with the name of your "USER VERSION",
    #  and run again the "./configure" command
    #
    
    export VER_USER=MY_MODIF
    ./configure
    
    # this will regenerate the "profile-mesonh" file and a copy
    # of this with the extent  "profile_mesonh...${VER_USER)..."
    #
    #   in job_make_mesonh_user_BullX insert " export VER_USER=MY_MODIF "
    #   then submit in batch mode
    
    #   
    #   at CALMIP on OLYMPE (BULLX)  :
    #   -------------------------------------------------------
    # 
    #   - install the PACKAGE in your /tmpdir/$USER
    #   - Compile in interactive mode ( see IDRIS )
    
    #
    # That's all for the basic INSTALLATION of the "MESONH PACKAGE"

    #  VII) "SCANDOLLAR" = SCRIPTING YOUR OWN PROCEDURES 
    #  ====================================================
    
    
    REM : not tested on 5-5-X version ...
    
    # A small script 'scandollar' is in test in this version of MESONH.
    # It will help you to build a complete chaining of an experiment. 
    # The idea is to write some "template" scripts with '$VARIABLE' in the 
    # Key point. Then 'scandollar' will parse this template files
    # and generate the file with the variables evaluated ...
    #
    # First don't forget to load your "profile_mesonh..."
    #
    # So how it work  ...
    #
    #  Syntaxe 
    
    export CONFEXP="YOUR_EXPERIMENT"
    scandollar [list_directory]
    
    # What is done :
    #
    #   for all (directory) in [liste directory]
    #   go to this (directory)
    #    - read the environnement variable in the user 'confdollar' file 
    #    - read the default environnement variable for this 'machine' in ${CONF_DOLLAR}
    #    - parse all the '*.ihm' file and put the transformed file 
    #         (without extension in) in a new sub-directory '${CONFEXP}'
    #
    #  Without [list_directory] the current directory '.' is parsed . 
    #
    # As a demonstration the '16janvier Study Case' is build with this
    # template script here :

    # The chaining of the differents steps is control by the "RMSHELL" variable .

    export RMSHELL="#"
    
    #
    # Some 'predefine' variables are set in the '${CONF_DOLLAR}' default files

    #
    #   Are included files for 'brodie' , 'vargas' , ( babel beta-test ) , 'c1a' , 'jade' & 'aeropc*' ( = default for unknown host )
    
    export  CONF_DOLLAR=${SRC_MESONH}/conf/post/confdollar_aeropc_default
    
    #
    #   You could define your own default file and use it by setting
    #   in your shell the  'CONF_DOLLAR' variable 
    #   ( By default './configure' will set it for you in the profile_mesonh file ) 
    
    
    #
    #  ON GENCI PLATEFORM 
    #  ------------------
    # 
    #  You will find my "own" personal installation of MESONH 
    #  in the next directory . If you need only to run MESONH
    #  without recompiliong new sources for MESONH, you could :
    #
    #  - source/load my own "profile_mesonh" without modification
    # 
    #  - and copy the scripts examples  with 
    
    cp -R  007_16janvier_scandollar /.../your_directory
      
    #
    
    # 
    
    # You could also copy only the differents "*/512"  sub-directory
    
    # if you don't when ti use the "scandollar" script  .
    #
    # 
    #   You will the need to change only information corresponding 
    #   the location to your own path directory for the input/ouput data .
    #  
    #   So

    #
    #  Good luck!!!
    #
    
    #
    # VIII) TROUBLE-SHOOTING
    # ======================
    #
    #
    # a) "Segmentation violation" -> problem of "stack size" limit
    # ------------------------------------------------------------
    #
    #  When running the examples coming with the MESONH package, if you obtain
    #  a "segmentation violation" error it is probably a problem with
    #  the "stack size" limit on your Linux computer ...
    #
    #  Check this limit with the command
    
    ulimit -s
    
    #  The limit is given in Kbytes and is often 8192 KB
    #
    #  ---> this mean only 8Mbytes for array in stack memory
    #
    #  It's a very low walue !!!
    #
    #  We recommend you to put it to "unlimited" in your
    #  ".bashrc" or ".profile" like this
    
    ulimit -s unlimited
    
    
    #
    # b) Compiler BUG with "ifort 10.0.xxx" 
    # -------------------------------------
    #
    #   Some routines do not compile with
    #   the version "10.0.XXX" of "ifort" ( at least until 10.0.023 )
    #
    #    Solution ---> Upgrade to ifort "10.1.015"
    #
    #   The ifort "10.1.008" has also some bug in the generation
    #   of optimized 'vectorized SSE' code resulting in unpredictable
    #   "Flaoting Point" error
    #
    #    Solution ---> compile the routine with problem with '-O1' option
    #                  or upgrade to at least "10.1.015" version
    #   
    
    #
    #
    # IX) OPTIONAL COMPILATION
    ===========================
    
    # a) MNH_FOREFIRE for forefire runs ( external package needed )
    
    # -------------------------------------------------------------
    #
    #  If you want to use coupled(inline) run with FOREFIRE and MESONH
    #  you could compile the interfaced/coupling routine by activating
    #  this variable before any compilation
    
    export MNH_FOREFIRE=1.0
    
    # and then the configure 
    
    ./configure
    
    #
    # after this compile as usually
    #
    
    make
    etc ...
    
    
    #
    # The FOREFIRE API package himself must be compiled independently from MesoNH
    # The git repository is here https://github.com/forefireAPI/firefront/tree/2014.01
    # it could be cloned by
    
    git clone -b 2014.01 https://github.com/forefireAPI/firefront.git
    
    # it depend on netcdf and scons for is compilation
    # the "libForeFIre.so" generate must by referenced in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    # or move/linked to the 'exe' directory of MesoNH
    #    
    
    
    # see d) for cleaning previously version if needed
    
    # --------------------------------------
    #
    
    # The RTTOV package was not included into the open source version of Meso-NH
    
    # because it needs a licence agrement.
    
    # ----------------------------------
    
    # OPTION 1: Use version 13.0 of RTTOV 
    
    # -----------------------------------
    
    #
    # Run the 'configure' script preceded with the setting of the MNH_RTTOV variable:
    #
    cd MNH.../src/
