Setting Linux cshrc

### WRF Model Environment Variable Configuration in Intel Environment For configuring the environment variables required by the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model within an Intel environment, ensuring these settings persist across sessions involves modifying shell profile files or using specific scripts tailored for the setup. To make sure that the environment variables are permanently set, one should add them to initialization files such as `.bash_profile`, `.bashrc` for Bash users, or equivalent files like `.cshrc`, `.profile` depending on the shell being used[^2]. For instance, when working with a Linux system under the Intel compiler suite, adding lines similar to those below into the appropriate file ensures necessary configurations: ```bash export PATH=/opt/intel/bin:$PATH source /opt/intel/mkl/bin/mklvars.sh intel64 source /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries/linux/bin/compilervars.sh intel64 ``` These commands adjust the `PATH` so that Intel binaries can be located easily while sourcing additional scripts provided by Intel sets up library paths needed for compiling applications against MKL libraries among others. After editing any of these startup files, either restarting the terminal session or executing `source ~/.bashrc` (or corresponding command based on which file was edited) applies changes immediately without needing to log out and back in again. Verifying whether custom environment variables have been successfully added after setting them through methods mentioned above can utilize tools like `printenv`. Commands such as `printenv DIR` or `printenv EXAMPLE` display values assigned specifically to `DIR` or `EXAMPLE`; similarly checking other defined variables confirms their presence and correctness[^1]. --related questions-- 1.
