**Download, compile and run the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Code**

     - Download the [[http://cococubed.asu.edu/code_pages/net_bigbang.shtml|Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Code]].
     - Compile the code with your fortran90 compiler.
     - Report in the Reaction Network Code discussion thread your success with machine information.
     - Generate light element abundance predictions for a range of initial baryon-to-photon ratios, $\eta$.
      * Create the "Schramm Plot"{{:schrammplot.jpg?direct&100|Schramm Plot:  Please note that these lines have a finite thickness.  This thickness denotes the uncertainties from nuclear reaction rates, propagated into the abundance predictions.}}
     - Repeat with $N_\nu = 2$ and $4$.
