Obtaining fortISSimO

There are two ways of obtaining fortISSimO. Using a development version may be somewhat less reliable than a release, but gives you access to some features earlier, and any testing on those is highly appreciated.

Grabbing a release

First, pick one of the releases. Then, either grab one of the pre-built bundles, or either of the “source code” downloads if you want to compile teNOR yourself or no pre-built is available for your setup.

Pre-built bundle

Since the bundle includes a pre-built binary of teNOR, you must grab the one corresponding to your computer’s architecture:

  • Windows: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc1
  • Linux: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu1
  • macOS: aarch64-apple-darwin if on “Apple Silicon”, x86_64-apple-darwin otherwise1, 2.

You can then use all of the provided files any way you like. To update fortISSimO, simply overwrite all of the files; delete any files not in the new bundle.

If you don’t have a 64-bit Intel processor, you will have to go the “Source code” route instead.

Source code

fortISSimO itself can be used just the same, but you will need to compile teNOR yourself. teNOR is written in Rust, so you must install it. Then, you can build teNOR by running cargo build --release inside of the teNOR/ directory; the resulting binary will be in the target/release/ directory.

Using a development version

First, clone the repository; then, follow the “Source code” instructions. Grabbing a ZIP is also fine.

That said, if you want to integrate fortISSimO in a project that already uses Git, consider using a submodule to make upgrading fortISSimO easier.

If you have a PowerPC Mac, you have my respect (and no pre-built binaries :D)
