ACCESS-ESM1.6 releases come with a pre-deployed executable on Gadi. Deployed builds are stored under the project `vk83` (hence requiring [membership to this project](https://my.nci.org.au/mancini/project/vk83/join) for access). You can see all deployed builds via:

There are development releases (identified with a `dev_` prefix to the date tag) and full releases (identified with only a date tag). We recommend new users start with the newest full release (i.e. with the most recent date tag).
