Getting precompiled executables

Setting up your own XBeach model is easiest when making use of our matlab toolbox (integrated into the OpenEarthTools toolbox). Getting hold of it involves the following steps:

1. Install 'TortoiseSVN' via the Deltares Appstore
2. Create a new folder where the toolbox will be placed

When running XBeach on a windows computer (for instance your Deltares laptop or the WCF), you will need a windows executable. If you are running time consuming computations, it is a good idea to do so on the WCF or the H5 cluster and not on your laptop.

1. The executables for the latest releases are available from the website http://oss.deltares.nl/web/xbeach/source-code-and-exe
   1. By default, make use of the most recent release, unless you have a good reason not to.
   2. Make sure to download the 32bit version if you use a 32bit computer
   3. If you don't use parallel computing (MPI), don't download the MPI version, since it contains more tricky dependencies.

Running XBeach

You can run XBeach either locally or remotely:

1. Local: See 'Getting precompiled executables' above.
2. Remote - H5: See the following description: XBeach-H5
3. Remote - WCF: [Under construction]
