Downloading ASPECT

There are different ways to obtain ASPECT that we describe in the manual.

Releases

You can download the latest release here.

After downloading, unpack the file. Then follow the installation instructions linked to above.

Current development versions

In order to download the current ASPECT development sources, use the following command:

  git clone https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect.git
	      

Then again follow the installation instructions linked to above.

Experimental VirtualBox Image

Alternatively, we are providing an experimental image for a fully configured version of ASPECT. For this, you will need to install VirtualBox on your machine, and then import a virtual machine image that can be downloaded from here. Note, however, that the machine image is several gigabytes in size and downloading will take a while.
