Getting Started

So, you want to use SWIFT? Below you should find all of the information you need to get up and running with some examples, and then build your own initial conditions for running.

Also, you might want to consult our onboarding guide (available at https://swift.strw.leidenuniv.nl/onboarding.pdf) if you would like something to print out and keep on your desk.
