Before running the Short-Range Weather (SRW) Application, users should determine which level of support their system falls under. Generally, Level 1 & 2 systems are restricted to those with access through NOAA and its affiliates. These systems are named (e.g., Hera, Orion, Cheyenne).

The Quick Start Chapter provided in each User's Guide is an excellent place for new users to begin. It provides details on how to clone the SRW App, build it, and run a forecast. Users should access the documentation for the SRW App version that they plan to run:

Version Description
Develop Branch/Latest Documentation for the head of the development. This may have gaps and errors.
Tag ufs-v1.0.1 Documentation for the most recent release and the version currently used in the Getting Started section.
Tag ufs-v1.0.0 Documentation for the most recent release and the version currently used in the Getting Started section.

Users can also get expert help through a community forum:
