WRFCHEM-4.4.1-install-script-linux-64bit

This is a script that installs all the libraries, software, programs, and geostatic data to run the Weather Research Forecast Model (WRFCHEM-4.4.1) in 64bit with KPP installed. Script assumes a clean directory with no other WRF configure files in the directory. This script does not install NETCDF4 to write compressed NetCDF4 files in parallel
