====== Introduction to Earth System Modelling: Software ======

===== Software Description  =====

The models described in this course will be developed using [[http://www.terrame.org | TerraME]]. TerraME is an extension of the [[http://www.lua.org|Lua]] language. Please read the following introduction about TerraME, to get a sense of the language and what we are going to teach:

  * A primer on TerraME, 2016.

The next step is to learn the basics of Lua, which is a simple and elegant programming language. We provide an introduction about Lua for TerraME users:

  * [[http://www.terrame.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=docs:luaforterrame-ashortintroduction2.pdf|Lua for TerraME: A Short Introduction.]]

===== TerraME =====

The TerraME software is available at the  [[https://github.com/TerraME/terrame/releases |  TerraME github release site]]. 

==== TerraME installation in Windows ====

  - Download the EXE application to your desktop.
  - Doubleclick the EXE application. When prompted for an installation directory, please choose "C:\TerraME". 

==== TerraME installation in MAC OS X  ====

  - Download the DMG application to your destktop.
  - Double click the DMG application and move the TerraME icon to the Applications folder.
  - In MAC OS X, TerraME should be run from a Terminal. To allow for terminal execution, please add the following line to your ".bash_profile": ''export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/terrame.app/Contents/bin''


===== Zero Brane Studio: IDE for TerraME =====

We suggest that you use [[http://studio.zerobrane.com | ZeroBraneStudio]] as your programming environment for developing TerraME programs. In Windows, please install the program to ''C:\ZeroBraneStudio''. In MAC and Linux, please use the default installation path.

After you download ZeroBraneStudio (ZBS), please do the following steps:

==== Zero Brane Studio in Windows ====

  - Configuration file: tells ZBS where to find the TerraME interpreter. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/user.lua | user.lua]] configuration file to ''C:\ZeroBraneStudio\cfg''.
  - Interpreter description file: tells ZBS how to use TerraME. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/terrame.lua | terrame.lua]] interpreter description file to ''C:\ZeroBraneStudio\interpreters''. 
  - Keyword description: tells ZBS to highlight both Lua and TerraME keywords. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/lua.lua | lua.lua]] keyword description file to  ''C:\ZeroBraneStudio\spec''.
  - Optional: delete the other interpreters of ZeroBrane (Corona, Guideros, etc.) and leave only Lua, Lua5.2 and TerraME.

==== Zero Brane Studio in MAC OS X ====

  - Configuration file: tells ZBS where to find the TerraME interpreter. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/user.lua | user.lua]] configuration file to ''/Applications/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio/cfg''.
  - Interpreter description file: tells ZBS how to use TerraME. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/terrame.lua | terrame.lua]] interpreter description file to ''/Applications/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio/interpreters''.
  - Keyword description: tells ZBS to highlight both Lua and TerraME keywords. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/lua.lua | lua.lua]] keyword description file to ''/Applications/ZeroBraneStudio.app/Contents/ZeroBraneStudio/spec''.
  - Optional: delete the other interpreters of ZeroBrane (Corona, Guideros, etc.) and leave only Lua, Lua5.2 and TerraME.

==== Zero Brane Studio in Linux ====

  - Configuration file: tells ZBS where to find the TerraME interpreter. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/user.lua | user.lua]] configuration file to  ''/opt/zbstudio/cfg''.
  - Interpreter description file: tells ZBS how to use TerraME. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/terrame.lua | terrame.lua]] interpreter description file to  ''/opt/zbstudio/interpreters''.
  - Keyword description: tells ZBS to highlight both Lua and TerraME keywords. Copy the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/gilberto/terrame/zerobrane/lua.lua | lua.lua]] keyword description file to ''/opt/zbstudio/spec''.
  - Optional: delete the other interpreters of ZeroBrane (Corona, Guideros, etc.) and leave only Lua, Lua5.2 and TerraME.

===== Additional Packages for TerraME =====

For this course, we are going to use additional packages:

  * sysdyn - modelling system dynamic problems.
  * sci - scientific and statistical functions in TerraME.
  * ca  - cellular automata models.
  * logo - simple agent-based models.

To install these packages, run TerraME, click on the button "Install Package" and select the files one by one.
