Installing your own version of CESM

These instructions are for users who need to download their own version of CESM2.
Do not load the CESM module.  If you have a cesm module loaded, unload it:
module unload cesm
Clone the version of CESM you want from the github repo:
git clone -b release-cesm2.2.0 https://github.com/ESCOMP/CESM.git my_cesm_sandbox
cd my_cesm_sandbox
./manage_externals/checkout_externals
The various Oscar-specific XML files needed to run CESM, including
config_batch.xml
config_compilers.xml
config_machines.xml
can be obtained from this github repo. The easiest way to incorporate these files into your build is to place them in a directory named .cime within your home directory (i.e., ~/.cime). For example:
git clone https://github.com/brown-ccv/CIME_Oscar ~/.cime
To setup, build, and run a case on Oscar:
1.Load the necessary modules (line 1-7 below)
2.Move to the cime_scripts directory (line 8)
3.Create a new case, selecting your desired <CASENAME>, <COMPSET>, and <GRID > (line 9)
4.Move to your CASEROOT directory (line 10)
5.Setup the case (line 11)
6.Build the case (line 12)
7.Submit the case (line 13)
module load netcdf/4.9.0_intel_2020.2_hdf5_1.12.2_slurm22 \
            hdf5/1.12.2_openmpi_4.0.7_intel_2020.2_slurm22 \
            mpi/openmpi_4.0.7_intel_2020.2_slurm22 \
            perl/5.30.0 \
            intel/2020.2 \
            blas/3.7.0 \
            lapack/3.7.0
cd my_cesm_sandbox/cime/scripts
./create_newcase --mach oscar --case <CASENAME> --compset <COMPSET> --res <GRID>
cd <CASENAME>
./case.setup
./case.build
./case.submit
By default, component log files, history files, and restart files for your case will be placed in /gpfs/home/<username>/data/<username>/archive/<CASENAME>.
