Running the software

First you'll have to get it and then you'll have to set it up.

At the moment you have run the software through Netbeans unless you are clever and can sort out all the paths etc that you need to run it from the command line.

You might hit an issue with the way NetBeans links the wrapr package into the ICAModel project. Even if you successfully resolve any reference problems, the program might fail to compile, complaining that it can't find the wrapr package. Read on...

Check the WrapR project out from SourceForge, then open it but not as the main project in NetBeans. So you will have 2 projects open in Netbeans, ICAModel as the main project, and WrapR as another project. Right-click on WrapR to build it, then you should be able to run ICAModel.

Before running the model for the first time you will have to set up 2 new directories in the same place as you downloaded the code:

• logs (for holding the logging output)
• results (for holding the results files)

The code download should have created a directory called data, containing a file called example-params.txt. In order to run, you need to have a file called params.txt in that directory. Copy the example file, and edit it to get the setup you want. The format of the parameter file hasn't been documented yet.

Your directory tree should then look something like:

• ICAModel
  • data
  • logs
  • results
  • src
    • icamodel
    • R
  • test
• WrapR
  • src
    • R
    • RuntimeWinXP
    • wrapr
