2. Create a test directory.

   mkdir -p /path/to/FVCOM/test

3. Go to the test directory.

   cd /path/to/FVCOM/test

4. Copy the test case to the current directory.

   cp -r /path/to/FVCOM/FVCOM4.1/Examples/Estuary/ ./

5. Go to the run directory.

   cd ./Estuary/run

      GRID_FILE = 'tst_grd.dat'

   3. Press Esc, type :wq!, and press Enter to save the file and exit.
7. Go to the /path/to/FVCOM/test/Estuary/tstinp directory and run the following command:

   dos2unix tst_grd.dat

8. Go to the /path/to/FVCOM/test/Estuary/run directory and run the following command:

   time mpirun -n 24 --allow-run-as-root --bind-to core /path/to/FVCOM/FVCOM4.1/FVCOM_source/fvcom --casename=tst
