Description
Currently installing as part of the SWMF requires making a number of changes manually that should be automated, or otherwise handled:
- Commenting out
PLE_OBJECTSinModRamRun.f90 - Commenting out the
DoUsePlane_SCBIFblock insrc/Makefile - Removing the
sharedirectory - Manually changing paths in both
Makefile.confandMakefile.def
Using with SWMF should be easier out-of-the-box and minimizing the amount of manual editing is highly desirable.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the SWMF-related installation flow and the changes currently required in ModRamRun.f90, src/Makefile, Makefile.conf, Makefile.def, and the share directory. Determine how those manual edits can be handled during component installation; done means SWMF users can compile and install without making those changes by hand.
