Did you take a look at the tutorial: http://nek5000.github.io/NekDoc/quickstart.html#running-your-very-first-simulation?

If so and you're having issues, the FAQ under this section may help as well. http://nek5000.github.io/NekDoc/faq.html#installing-compiling-and-running

Hi, 

You can start off with the Eddy UV example provided in the online Nek Documentation for help on compiling and running a first simulation. 

Best,
Divyansh

Dear Carasik & Divyansh ,
                       Thank you for your email. I have executed the following commands successfully:
cd ~
tar -xvzf Nek5000_X.Y.tar.gz
export PATH=$HOME/Nek5000/bin:$PATH
cd ~/Nek5000/tools; ./maketools genmap
cd ~/Nek5000/run
cp -r ../examples/eddy_uv .
cd eddy_uv

but when I gave the command 
genmap

the cursor was blinking for 

Input .rea / .re2 name:

then I gave the input 

eddy_uv


after that I received the foolwings;


reading eddy_uv.rea
Input mesh tolerance (default 0.2):
NOTE: smaller is better, but generous is more forgiving for bad meshes.

I don't know how to edit script to change settings
Kindly help me.

Thanking you.

Yours Sincerely

Hi Sandip,

In this context, you may accept default mesh tolerance by hitting ‘enter’ or you can input desired tolerance, say 0.1 for example.

Consequently, casename.map will be generated and you are then ready to run the case. Then, you may run the case using nekbmpi given that you have successfully build tools beforehand.

Chinthaka.

Please check out the quickstart section of our documentation: http://nek5000.github.io/NekDoc/quickstart.html
Please use Visit or Paraview for visualization instead of our legacy tool postx.
