Running Programs
Most of the EMsoft programs are executed from the command line. This typically requires two types of user actions: (1) editing of name list files, and (2) executing the programs. This can be done in many ways, using Terminal or X11 windows for shell commands, and your preferred text editor (emacs, vi, sublime, ...) for the input files.
Alternatively, one could use the Visual Studio Code program, available for all OS platforms; this program provides an easy to use editing interface, with a display of folders and files, as well as a shell command execution window. The program is available from this site.
After installing the program, click on the Files icon at the top left to open a Folder navigation pane, and also select the Terminal option from the View menu. Your interface will then look similar to this:
You can edit the name list files in the top right window, execute commands at bottom right, and manage your folder structure on the left. There are many additional options available and we suggest that you look around and customize your interface as needed.
