Obtaining Zodiac

To obtain Zodiac, you need a git installation. Then just do:

git clone https://software.crsim.utah.edu:8443/James_Research_Group/Zodiac.git

To build Zodiac, you will need a few things installed on your machine:

Cantera (our modified version). See here for instructions on installing cantera.
Boost libraries
CMake
A modern C++ compiler (C++11 compliant)
git

With these, building Zodiac is fairly straightforward:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake [path to source] 
make

A few flags are available to customize the build:

Flag	Value	Description
`-DCantera_DIR`	path to cantera installation	Allows you to point to a custom cantera installation directory. This shouldn't be needed if cantera is installed in typical spaces like `/usr/local` or `/usr`
`-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`	`Release` (default) or `Debug`	Allows you to control the build type
`-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`	path to installation	Allows you to control where the executable will be installed

Once you have a build, try: zodiac --help which will produce a summary of the commands that zodiac accepts on the command line.
