Installation Instructions

TauDEM 5.1.2 may be run in command line standalone mode or with ArcGIS 10. It has been tested with ArcGIS version 10.0,10.1 and 10.2. For ArcGIS 9.3.1 use TauDEM 5.0.
Automatic Install. Run TauDEM512.exe and the installer will install the necessary Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 MS-MPI and runtime redistributable libraries.
Manual Install. Unzip TauDEM512.zip. This contains the Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 MS-MPI installer mpi_x64.msi or mpi_x86.msi. These were obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36045. This also contains Visual Studio 2010 C++ runtime libraries vcredist_x86_2010.exe and vcredist_x64_2010.exe. The files here are SP1 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 and http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523

To activate the TauDEM Toolbox in ArcGIS:

2. Right click on ArcToolbox at the top of the window. Select Add Toolbox... .
3. Browse to the TauDEM install directory (C:\Program Files\TauDEM\).

5. The TauDEM Toolbox should now be visible in the list of toolboxes.
6. If you wish to save this configuration, right click on ArcToolbox, select Save to Default.
7. This needs to be done for each user who wishes to use TauDEM.
To use the Model Builder Workflows
1. Download the file appropriate for your ArcGIS version (see above) and save in the location that TauDEM was installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\TauDEM\TauDEM5Arc) so that the relative paths to TauDEM tools are correct.
2. Open ArcMap. If the ArcToolbox Window is not open, click on the "Show/Hide ArcToolbox Window" icon in the Standard Toolbar.
3. Right click on ArcToolbox at the top of the window. Select Add Toolbox... .

7. This needs to be done for each user who wishes to use TauDEM.
To use the Multifile Versions (version 5.2)
1. Download and unzip the executables for your platform. Set a path to the location they are saved.
2. Install the Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 MS-MPI library for your platform. This can be done from the TauDEM 5.1.2 zip file.
3. Use similar to the single file command line version, except wherever you would normally specify a DEM grid file as input or output, specify a folder. The folder may contain multiple tif files all of which will be read and treated as a single logical DEM grid.
