Quick start

install.sh will guide you through the installation process (set up environment variables and compile sources).

git clone git@github.com:vortexlab-uclouvain/onwards.git
cd onwards
source install.sh

OnWaRDS was developed using Python 3.9. The following modules are required:

  • matplotlib 3.4.3
  • numpy 1.21.2
  • scipy 1.6.1

templates provides a few OnWaRDS configurations examples and will guide you through the different steps required to perform a farm simulation.

cd $ONWARDS_PATH/templates
python 00_sandbox.py
