Installation instructions

You can install the latest version of Oceananigans using the built-in package manager (accessed by pressing ] in the Julia command prompt) to add the package and instantiate/build all dependencies

julia>]
(v1.1) pkg> add Oceananigans
(v1.1) pkg> instantiate

We recommend installing Oceananigans with the built-in Julia package manager, because this installs a stable, tagged release. Oceananigans.jl can be updated to the latest tagged release from the package manager by typing

(v1.1) pkg> update Oceananigans

At this time, updating should be done with care, as Oceananigans is under rapid development and breaking changes to the user API occur often. But if anything does happen, please open an issue!

Use Julia 1.1 or newer

Oceananigans requires at least Julia v1.1 to run correctly.

If you try to install Oceananigans with Julia v1.0 then it will install a very old version of Oceananigans (the latest version that is compatible with v1.0).
