I reviewed the FVCOM GitHub repo Readme file, cloned the source code, and started evaluating the installation steps.
The above was discussed with Zach, Michael, and Breanna and we noted several things:
1 - The GitHub instructions do not specify the versions to use for compilers or libraries (i.e., "Both NetCDF-C and NetCDF-Fortran are required. https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/") 2 - Several optional Libraries are listed, but exact use cases will need to be identified. 3 - Installation instructions are incomplete and/or too broad (i.e., "Generate the module dependencies of FVCOM codes.

Welcome to the IOOS Cloud-Sandbox!
Expected Behavior
A Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) version should be selected, compiled and made available to users of the Cloud-Sandbox.
Current Behavior
Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) is not available.
Possible Solution
The Source should be compiled periodically, a set of static configuration examples made available, and documentation should be written to describe not only how this is done but also the lifecycle of this model.
Steps to Reproduce or Implement:
Context
The National Ocean Service has adopted four different community code packages for use in the operational Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF):
