Installation

AxiSEM3D is a software written in C++ that needs to be configured and compiled before it can be run to produce simulations.

The installation of AxiSEM3D consists of three parts:

• the mesher

• the solver

• a few tools for pre- and post-processing

System Requirements

• Unix-like operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows WSL)

• A C++ compiler supporting the C++17 standard

• cmake 3.26 or above

• MPI implementation (serial build is possible but not recommended)
