### Set up initial condition and start run

Source: https://openpipeflow.org/index.php?diff=78&oldid=75&title=Manual

Move the install directory to a run directory, copy an output state (e.g., state0012.cdf.dat) to state.cdf.in as the initial condition, and start the run with nohup. If resolutions do not match, they are automatically interpolated or truncated.

```bash
> mv install ~/runs/job0001
> cd ~/runs/job0001/
> cp .../state0012.cdf.dat state.cdf.in
```

```bash
> nohup ./main.out > OUT 2> OUT.err &
```

### Set up a run directory and start the simulation

Source: https://openpipeflow.org/index.php?action=edit&oldid=50&title=Manual

Move the install directory to a run directory, copy an initial condition to state.cdf.in, and launch the main program with nohup, redirecting output to OUT and errors to OUT.err.

```shell
> mv install ~/runs/job0001
> cd ~/runs/job0001/
> cp .../state0100.cdf.dat state.cdf.in
> nohup ./main.out > OUT 2> OUT.err &
```

If a library is installed but not found, search for the library files using `ls`. The output shows examples of found library files.

```bash
:/> ls  */*/liblapack*  */*/*/libfftw3* */*/*/libnetcdf*
etc/alternatives/liblapack.so.3
etc/alternatives/liblapack.so.3gf
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libfftw3_omp.so.3
