The Command Line Tool

This page will describe how to run the experiment via the command line. Set up a new folder alongside ASQ that will contain your parameters file:

.
├── my_simulation_instance
│   └── parameters.yml
│
├── ASQ

The parameters.yml file is a yaml file containing all the parameters that describe the queueing network you would like to simulate. See :ref:`parameters-file` for how to set up this file.

To run the simulation go to the directory which contains both ASQ and my_simultion_instance. Then run the following command:

$ python ASQ/scripts/run_simulation.py my_simulation_instance/

This will create a data.csv, positioned here:

.
├── my_simulation_instance
│   └── parameters.yml
│   └── data.csv
├── ASQ

Please see :ref:`output-file` for an explanation of the data contained here.
