How to obtain the latest ParaDiS codes

It is highly recommended to create directory Codes under your home directory. Currently ParaDiS codes are maintained through Subversion. For current group members or collaborators, you can obtain the latest version of ParaDiS by typing the following,

 cd ~/Codes
 svn co https://micro.stanford.edu/svn/ParaDiS [./dirname]

Directory ~/Codes/ParaDiS (or ~/Codes/dirname) will be created with latest checked out revision. It is your svn local repository. You can update your local ParaDiS codes by simply typing

 cd ~/Codes/ParaDiS
 svn update

If you create a new file called newfile.c, you can add it to your local repository ~/Codes/ParaDiS

$ svn add newfile.c

or commit the change to ParaDiS codes after some modifications

$ svn commit newfile.c
