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. |
