ADCIRC Clusters

Install and Run the Latest ADCIRC Locally

We are experts in building and deploying ADCIRC on your own machine, on a local cluster, on a public HPC, or in the Cloud. We can design, build, deploy, and train-to-use your own ADCIRC Clusters, too! The free information and downloads below is extremely useful for many, but represents the tip of the iceberg of how we can help your organization deploy, learn, automate, and customize ADCIRC - on your own software and hardware. The information below can quickly get overwhelming, if so reach out to us via help@support.adcirc.live. Or if you prefer, you may email Jason or Brett for more concise information.

The ADCIRC source code has been released as open source software on Github, but it is notoriously difficult to build and install. We have been installing and porting ADCIRC on different platforms for decades.

Please click here here to see a slides that describe this environment, which is based directly on the software we wrote and maintain, ASGS; from the 2025 ADCIRC User Group Meeting entitled, Portable ADCIRC and Installed Version Management Using ASGS.
