Once you finished installations succesfully, you will be able to run NewtonNet modules anywhere on your computer as long as the newtonnet environment is activated.

Guidelines

• You can find several run files inside the scripts directory that rely on the implemented modules in the NewtonNet library.

• The run scripts need to be accompanied with a yaml configuration file.

• The documentation of the modules are available at most cases. Please look up local classes or functions and consult with the docstrings in the code.
