<h3>
Installation instructions
</h3>
<p>
In order to install <abbr>ASPECT</abbr>, you will need to first install the following
dependencies:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://trilinos.org/">Trilinos</a>: A library for
parallel linear algebra.
<li><a href="http://www.p4est.org">p4est</a>: A library for
parallel data structures and algorithms to represent meshes.
<li><a href="https://www.dealii.org">deal.II</a>: A library that
supports all things related to finite element methods.
</ul>
The individual steps needed to install each of these packages are
discussed in the <a href="doc/manual.pdf">Installation instructions
section of the <abbr>ASPECT</abbr> manual</a>.
Detailed installation instructions are also provided by all of these
libraries on their webpages as well as <i>much</i> more information
about details of these libraries.
</p>
<p>
One you have installed these three underlying libraries, compiling
<abbr>ASPECT</abbr> is relatively simple. More information can again be found in the
corresponding section of the <a href="doc/manual.pdf"><abbr>ASPECT</abbr> manual</a>.
</p>
<h3>
Running and extending <abbr>ASPECT</abbr>
</h3>
<p>
Instructions on how to run and extend, as well as on how to interpret
the output of Apect can also be found in
the <a href="doc/manual.pdf"><abbr>ASPECT</abbr> manual</a>. This manual also
discusses the structure of the source code.

If you have questions on <abbr>ASPECT</abbr>, there are a number of mailing lists
that can help:
<ul>
<li>The ASPECT website is available at <a href="https://aspect.dealii.org">http://aspect.dealii.org</a>
<li>For questions on the source code of <abbr>ASPECT</abbr>, portability,
installation, etc., use
the <a href="http://lists.geodynamics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aspect-devel">aspect-devel mailing
list</a>. This mailing list is where the <abbr>ASPECT</abbr>
developers all hang out.
<li><abbr>ASPECT</abbr> is primarily based on the deal.II library (the dependency
on Trilinos and p4est is primarily through deal.II, and not directly
visible in the <abbr>ASPECT</abbr> source code). If you have particular questions
about deal.II, contact
the <a href="https://www.dealii.org/mail.html">deal.II discussion groups</a>.
<li>In case of more general questions about mantle convection, you can
contact the <a href="http://lists.geodynamics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cig-MC">CIG mantle
convection mailing lists</a>.
<li>If you have specific questions about <abbr>ASPECT</abbr> that are not suitable
for public and archived mailing lists, you can contact the
primary developers:
