21 # Use
22 To run the script you need to:
23
24 1. Read the information in the script header.
25
26 1. Create a file describing your system settings and parameters. You can find an example file in the "system_settings"
27 folder. Give a descriptive name and save it in the "system_settings" folder.
28
29 2. Edit the "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" or the current script file with an ASCII editor and set the variable InputFile below line 281 to the filename you chose in step 1.
30
31 3. Run the script "GHK_0.9.8e5_Py3.7.py" (or the current version).
32
33 Note: _0.9.8e5 in the script filename is the script version and _Py3.7 indicates that it is tested with Python 3.7.
