                     ------------------------
                 Copyright (C) 2002-2013 Andrea Mignone 

		This distribution is a fork created by Geoffroy Lesur
		designed to handle some new modules for pluto.

		This source code is currently under heavy developement, hence
		no documentation is provided. The modules included here will
		be ultimately distributed in the coming PLUTO releases.


PLUTO is Godunov-type code for astrophysical fluid dynamics supporting several
modules and algorithms. This is the v 4.0 (Nov 2012) version of the code
(http://plutocode.ph.unito.it).

 - libpng to produce on-the-fly graphics.
 

Basic Installation and Usage
============================

There's no configure.sh; once you've unpacked the distribution,  

1) define the shell variable PLUTO_DIR as the 
   main PLUTO directory, e.g., 
   if you are using tcsh:

   > setenv PLUTO_DIR "/home/user/PLUTO"

   if you're using bash:

   > export PLUTO_DIR="/Users/ovidiu/PLUTO"


2) select a working dir anywhere on your hard disk;
   at the command prompt, just type 

   > python $PLUTO_DIR/setup.py 

   configure your problem and select makefile;

3) edit your init.c and pluto.ini to assign 
   initial conditions and problem specific information;

4) compile with

   > make 

   or (gmake);

4) run with 

   > ./pluto

See the documentation in Doc/ for more information.
Have fun!
