Guidance for a new user. How to install Croco?

compilation-installation
1

I am new in numerical modelling. I just downloaded CROCO - v2.0.0 and CROCO_TOOLS - v2.0.0 from v2.0.0 · croco-ocean / croco · GitLab. Both files store in Downloads directory in my laptop. I have a problem, how to install both of these applications and make sure it can be used properly. I read a lot of documentation on croco’s website and question asked by other users on this forum. Unfortunately, i cannot understand it. Please, everyone can help me to solve this issue. Thank you.

Thank you for your response Mr @smaishal. I read your links. However, I also tried to run Croco by ./create_config.bash. I got the following message

firmanghazali@LAPTOP-OHF4QV84:~/croco_v2.0.0$ ./create_config.bash

It should be two dots. That means “upper directory” in Linux
