Welcome to the MET Online Tutorial
- This tutorial is designed for use with METv6.1 released in December 2017.

- It describes step-by-step how to compile, configure MET, and run MET, or how to use pre-compiled versions of MET either on an HPS platform or using a docker container.
- We recommend that you work through this tutorial before you try to run MET on your own.
- A description of what's new since the previous tutorial can be found in the release notes for METv6.0 and METv6.1.
