How to run the model

Step 1 : In the top-right corner of this page, click Fork. Under Owner, select the dropdown menu and click an owner for the forked repository. By default, forks are named the same as their upstream repositories. Optionally, to further distinguish your fork, in the Repository name field, type a name. Click Create fork. A forked repository will be created in your GitHub account.

Step 2: Click on Code icon in the forked repository to copy the HTTPS url. The HTTPS url will be something like https://github.com/SmitomB/Internal_Phosphorus_Loading_Model.git.

Step 3 : Open RStudio and click New Project... from File. Select Version Control and Git. In the Repository URL, enter the HTTPS URL of the forked repository from your GitHUb account. Next, enter a Project directory name and select the directory in which the you want to store the R project. Select Create Project

Step 4 : Run the codes stored in JLPMv016p001.Rmd to JLPMv016p010.Rmd in Pmodels repository.
