Introduction

This wiki explains how to download and install 64-bit and 32-bit gfortran.

We recommend that you code using the latest 64-bit gfortran. 32-bit gfortran is only intermittently updated and may be discontinued in the future. However, 32-bit gfortran remains available at IGPP to run legacy code. 


Prerequisite: Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Tools

For most users running a recent Mac OS version, Xcode can be downloaded via the App Store under /Applications/App Store.app.

Please see the wiki on installing Xcode from the App Store. Included in the wiki is how to install Xcode Command Line Tools:

If you're using an older version of Mac OS, the App Store's Xcode usually won't support it. Downloads for legacy versions of Xcode can be downloaded by registering for a free developer account:
