TauDEM (Terrain Analysis Using Digital Elevation Models) is a suite of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) tools for the extraction and analysis of hydrologic information from topography as represented by a DEM.

For the latest release and detailed documentation please refer to the website: http://hydrology.usu.edu/taudem

We use the CMake build system on Linux platforms. It takes care of finding GDAL and MPI on your system.

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

If GDAL is installed in a non-standard path, you can try using the GDAL_ROOT variable. You can also change the compiler with the CC/CXX variables. For example:

$ CC=icc CXX=icpc GDAL_ROOT=/path/to/gdal cmake ..
