SUMMARY

LORENE software, utilized for numerical relativity, lacks comprehensive tutorials and community support compared to other tools like the Einstein Toolkit. Users face challenges compiling code with LORENE libraries due to insufficient documentation. Key resources include the official LORENE website, a tutorial link that appears to be unavailable, and a PDF with slides outlining its usage. The software has been maintained by a single individual since 2001, contributing to the scarcity of learning materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LORENE software and its applications in numerical relativity.
  • Understanding of code compilation processes using make.
  • Basic knowledge of CVS for downloading LORENE software.
  • Experience with navigating online resources for academic software.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the official LORENE website for updates and documentation.
  • Investigate the PDF slides available at the LORENE school link for insights into software usage.
  • Search for numerical relativity congress videos that may cover LORENE coding practices.
  • Look for community forums or groups focused on LORENE for shared experiences and resources.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and software developers working in numerical relativity who require guidance on using LORENE software effectively.

TL;DR
Besides the documentation on the web page https://lorene.obspm.fr/ where can I found more information about the software?
Unlike Einstein Toolkit, which is a pretty alive community, LORENE users seems to be hidden somewhere. I cannot found much information about this software anywhere in format of tutorials. I'm having problems to compile codes with make use of LORENE libraries because of the reduced amount of information they apparently have.

Does anyone know of a series of videos in some numerical relativity congress around the world in which they teach how to effectively the code? Or any tutorials which are not only documentation?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
A quick google search got me these refs:

https://www.swmath.org/software/9576

https://lorene.obspm.fr/

and a tutorial:

https://sites.google.com/view/surendrapadamata/resources/my-tutorials

(couldn't find or open the above tutorial and suspect its not yet written or uploaded)

https://lorene.obspm.fr/school/wednesday.pdf

has a bunch of slides that hint at what is used for what.

Downloading Lorene:

https://lorene.obspm.fr/download.html

This software is apparently maintained by one person since its inception in 2001 hence the apparent lack of tutorials. I looked for a github fork of it but couldn't locate one. I was hoping that there was a directory of examples that I could view.

It seems the only way you'll be able to work with this code is to dowload it via cvs follwoing the instructions in the last link above and hope there is an examples directory and maybe even a tutorial from the author.
