[Mesa-users] Gyre installation and run

[Warrick Ball]

First, note that this is the *MESA* user forum so, while there are many 
GYRE users here, your questions are better suited to the GYRE forums:

http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~townsend/gyre-forums/

The questions you're asking are covered by the GYRE documentation anyway. 
e.g.

https://bitbucket.org/rhdtownsend/gyre/wiki/Running%20GYRE

Have you tried the instructions on that page?  If so, what problem(s) have 
you encountered?

Regarding plotting, your question is too open ended to be answered easily. 
(This isn't the place for general advice on plotting output.)  GYRE output 
is fixed width plain text and easy to manipulate.  You can look at the 
files using your favourite text editor or command line tools like `less`, 
and then decide how you would plot that in your preferred language.  e.g. 
to get to the point-wise/vector data in a summary or mode file in Python, 
I use NumPy's `genfromtxt` function with something like

     data = np.genfromtxt(filename, skip_header=5, names=True)

To see the available columns, I use

     print(data.dtype.names)

So with `matplotlib.pyplot` imported as `pl`, I would plot the radial 
component of an eigenfunction with

     pl.plot(data['x'], data['Rexi_r'])
