Ferret is a MOOSE application. To build and use Ferret you will need to build MOOSE. It might be a good idea to learn a few things about MOOSE, too.
Generally, you will clone Ferret this way:
git clone git@bitbucket.org/mesoscience/ferret.git
If you have write permissions, cloning this way will enable you to push to the repo.
Generally this means that you are a member of the mesoscience BitBucket team.
If you only have read permissions, you might want to clone this way:
git clone bitbucket.org/mesoscience/ferret.git
Once MOOSE is built, Ferret can usually be built simply as
cd <ferret>
make METHOD=opt MOOSE_DIR=<moose>
Here <ferret> is the location of the Ferret clone, and <moose> is the MOOSE clone.
Naturally, use an appropriate METHOD -- one of those that was used to build MOOSE
(e.g., dbg or opt).
If libMesh is built in a non-standard location (i.e., NOT built inside the MOOSE tree
using the <moose>/scripts/update_and_rebuild_libmesh.sh) then LIBMESH_DIR also has
to be set:
make METHOD=opt MOOSE_DIR=<moose> LIBMESH_DIR=<libmesh>
