Perhaps follow the installation instructions,
[https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all\_versions/html/AVAIL.html#build](https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all_versions/html/AVAIL.html#build)
Also note that 3.2 is the current version; 3.1 is in maintenance-only mode.

@Akhila. The link Carlie sent you is the user’s guide. Please check the guide and follow the instruction. There is a specific instruction how to install it on your server. If you run into an error, then let us know.

Hello Team,
During the installation process in step three am curious to understand whether we need to create a directory named BIN na d the copy the files under the folder LIB.
Am using netcdf -c 4.7 netcdf -cxx4-4.3.0 and netcdf-fortran 4.4.5.
Also the libraries
hdf5-1.8.21
and Zlib-1.2.11.
So did you meam that i have to create a directory BIN (“AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE LOCATION, whether it is in ioapi-3.1 the main folder.”
and then copyibg the LIB files (which LIB files-- if could you specify … because m able to find a lot of files that start with the file name LIB)
also if i create the file BIN,
where should i link it to.
Am curious to know,
what so far i have done is that, created a copy of all makefiles.
Could you have immediate response because the software installtion seems to be little confusing .

Thanks in advance,

If you would follow the instructions, and configure/build netCDF using the recommended
`--disable-netcdf4 --disable-dap`
flags, then you would not need to worry about libhdf5, etc. Or else (assuming you got them as part of your installation) ask your vencor’s software-installation utility where to find them – that utility be different on Debian or Ubuntu from RedHat or Fedora (and different from version to version) or from SuSE.

Along with [https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all\_versions/html/AVAIL.html](https://www.cmascenter.org/ioapi/documentation/all_versions/html/AVAIL.html)
The interesting fact is that the name of the files seems different .
Am using netcdf -c 4.7 netcdf -cxx4-4.3.0 and netcdf-fortran 4.4.5.
Also the libraries
hdf5-1.8.21
and Zlib-1.2.11.
could you please guide the files that must be copied to BIN.
In the document it is said that the file ‘lib’ should be linked , but am curious to know which are all the files in it.
Itz been a file that am behind the installation.
But i have strong confidence that i will succeed on day.
Thanks in advance,
Akhila Thomas

Could we use make install in installing ioapi-3.1?

You use _make install_ to copy the libraries (etc.) from their build-directory to some other directories (e.g., _${HOME}/bin, lib_., etc).

cjcoats, could you please clarify one thing - I found that --disable-netcdf-4 --disable-dap is NOT possible to install netcdf-fortran without error in make chek, but you and whole CMAQ is suggesting so. please any comments? I have tried myself with the later versions of netcdf e.g. netcdf-c-4.7.0 (and 1) with netcdf-fortran-4.5.0 (4.5.1) etc.

See topic " [IOAPI to netcdf4 compress mode](https://forum.cmascenter.org/t/ioapi-to-netcdf4-compress-mode/482)": It is certainly possible to install netCDF-C and netCDF-Fortran 4.4 with these flags. And the Mmake check"s work.

Hi Zhuli
Yes, I solved it. Which version do you want to install?
What is your compiler?

Hi～esm
I’ve installed netcdf4.1.3 successfully by adding the command " --disable-netcdf-4–disable-dap "below configure, but when I make in ioapi3.2, I got the same errors you got before:
make[1]: \*\*\* [airs2m3] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/ensiyeh/Build\_WRF/LIBRARIES/ioapi-3.2/m3tools’
Makefile:198: recipe for target ‘all’ failed
make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2
BTW: Centos7.5 & GCC 6.4.0 are what I’m using.
Look forward to your reply～
