Download cHECk-RAS

The USACE’s HEC-RAS program must be installed on the computer before cHECk-RAS can be installed.

Note that older versions of cHECk-RAS do not need to be un-installed prior to installation of cHECk-RAS 2.0.1.

1. Download the latest cHECk-RAS Version 2.0.1 set-up zip file from the FEMA library and save it to a local directory on your computer. Extract the file.
   Note that the FEMA library resource record for cHECk-RAS also includes the following information:
   • cHECk-RAS 2.0.1 executable setup file - in ZIP format.
   • User Guide
   • cHECk-RAS Sample Data Sets
2. Double click on the cHECk-RAS installation file and follow the on-screen directions to install the program.

Run HEC-RAS

The HEC-RAS program latest version 4.1.0 must be installed on your computer before you can use cHECk-RAS. If you already have HEC-RAS 4.1.0 installed on your computer, skip to the Run cHECk-RAS section below. If not, visit the USACE Web site to download a free copy of the program and install it on your computer.

1. The default installation directory for HEC-RAS is the 'HEC' directory. However, you may install this program elsewhere on your computer or rename the default directory after installing the program (not recommended). If either of these actions is taken, the HEC-RAS registry will no longer match the location of the actual program on your computer. Wherever the program may be, make sure that the path to the application is such that the last directory in the path is 'HEC' (e.g., D:testtest1HECras.exe).
2. The HEC-RAS registry is not automatically created on your computer when you install the HEC-RAS program. To create the registry, you must open at least one project from HEC-RAS. If this is not done, cHECk-RAS will not be able to find the HEC-RAS program on your computer.
3. Make sure that the stream has a reach name by navigating to Edit/Geometric Data on the HEC-RAS main menu. Although HEC-RAS will run without a reach name, cHECk-RAS will not be able to extract data. Refer to the HEC-RAS Users Manual for information on adding a reach name.

Run cHECk-RAS

Before running cHECk-RAS, it is highly recommended that users review the cHECk-RAS User Guide, available both directly through the cHECk-RAS online help function or as a standalone .pdf file. The User Guide has detailed instructions on how to use the different functions in the program and information on the types of checks performed.

Questions not answered by the Help menu or suggestions for software improvements can be submitted on the Software Help Page.
