Get System Ready¶
The first step to running examples is to prepare the computer on. The examples can be run on Linux, Mac (OS X), or Windows machines. Some of the instructions will assume you are in a terminal (Linux or Mac), but can be adapted to Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell.
Steps:
Download examples folder.
- Setup a python version
Either with a system Python
Or mamba.
Get CAMx tutorial files.
Once you have done all these steps, you should will be ready to run example scripts. The scripts use file paths to “point” to files assuming a relative folder structure. Each python script (eg, run_gridemiss_01_perturb.py) will be run using python from within its folder (eg, examples/gridemiss/). So, it is important that the folder structure is as expected or you edit the paths in the scripts.
So, if you were done preparing the system (steps 1-3), you would run an example script like this on Linux or Mac:
cd ~
cd examples/gridemiss
python run_gridemiss_01_perturb.py
Or Windows PowerShell
cd ~
cd examples/gridemiss
py.exe run_gridemiss_01_perturb.py
As an alternative, you can run these script by pasting sections of them into an interactive Python console. For example, on Linux/Mac:
cd ~/examples/gridemiss
python
>>> # paste commands here
Or in Windows PowerShell:
cd ~/examples/gridemiss
py.exe
>>> # paste commands here
Remember, this will not work until you complete the preparation steps:
Getting the examples folder done in Get Examples Folder
Preparing the python executable is described in the Preparing Python Environment (or in the Using Mamba to get Python).
Getting the CAMx tutorial data is described in the Getting CAMx Files example.
