Getting started

This document will show you how to get up and running with Met.3D, and provide you with a short overview of how to use the software. We provide ready-to-use binaries as a conda package Linux binary conda package. If you want to compile Met.3D by yourself, please follow the notes provided in the section Compile Met.3D from source code: Linux (conda). The following sections assume that the tool has been successfully installed.

First steps with Met.3D contains a tutorial for the first steps with the Met.3D. User interface components contains information about the various user interface components.

Note

Please note that Met.3D is being developed within a research project. We do our best to fix bugs in the software. However, you may encounter bugs when using Met.3D. Please let us know about any bug you encounter, so we can improve the software. Please also regularly check for software and user guide updates.

Note

There is more functionality in Met.3D (in part experimental) than described in this user guide. We will complete the user guide in the future.
