       <LI>Finally one need to compile the Fortran modules using the same python to run the scripts. This is done using a standard `Makefile' and the tool <A CLASS="la" HREF="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-dev/f2py/" TARGET="_blank">f2py</A> to link Fortran compiled codes to python. There are different versions for different LMD/IPSL and French HPC machines. For a standard linux 64-bits machine (debain 7) there is one example as `Makefile.foudre'. Follow the instructions there in after linking the appropriated file:</LI>
