Hi There.  I was talking to someone who is in the know about this project.  How easy is it to get this up and running on my machine?  Do I need a compiler, etc?

Thanks.  Looking forward to contributing.

Hi Chien Si,

Yes, you do need a compiler. As far as I know, there are two main options: Microsoft Visual Studio (~$500) with Intel Visual Fortran (~$800)...or the free option, GFortran. We are currently finishing up a detailed tutorial for how to get set up using GFortran. We will post an announcement here when it's ready--it should be soon.

Hi Peter I am eagerly awaiting a gfortran tutorial any update on when this will be finished?

Hi Peter,

This is Maathangi. I have recently started to use Energyplus, and am hoping to use the Fortran source codes for customization as per my

requirements. Was wondering if you have a tutorial for compiling this on a freeware like gfortran?

 

Thanks!
