The following guidelines explain how to configure and compile ICON on the clusters of IMGW (primarily `jet`). They should be generic enough to help anyone getting ICON up and running, but they are targeted to users of the limited-area-model and large-eddy-simulation versions of ICON.
For more specific guidance on working with the climate modelling version of ICON, please check elsewhere (Gitlab projects of the [climate modelling group](https://gitlab.phaidra.org/climate/), or their wiki).
## What is ICON
ICON can be downloaded and used under a [personal non-commercial research license](https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/iconpublic/wiki/Instructions_to_obtain_the_ICON_model_code_with_a_personal_non-commercial_research_license). An account at <code.mpimet.mpg.de> is required. Instructions are available on the [public ICON page](https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/iconpublic). Useful information can be found in the ICON [Tutorial](https://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/nwv_icon_tutorial/pdf_volume/icon_tutorial2023_en.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=3).
