How to use precompiled WRF on Cheyenne

[jiyaoz]

Hi,

I'm new to Cheyenne and WRF. I copied the precompiled WRF ( (/glade/u/home/wrfhelp/PRE_COMPILED_CODE) ) to my own directory (/glade/u/home/jiyaoz/WRF) but I found the namelist.wps and namelist,input are read-only files. I wonder how can I modify the namelist and run precompiled WRF in my directory?
I found the same problem on the forum but it didn't mention how to solve it: Using precompiled WRF on Cheyenne

Thanks,
Jiyao

Hi,
I compared the permissions of your namelist.input file to mine and they are the same. You should be able to use vi or a text editor to modify the namelist files. Are you getting an error when you try?

Hello,
I have found out the reason. I the path I copied is actually a symbolic link so I can't write in the file. The actual directory of the precompiled code could be shown by using ll -al /glade/u/home/wrfhelp/PRE_COMPILED_CODE.
