Hermes Command Line Interface#

Within this module the primary entry point to the HermesPy simulation routine is defined as command line interface (CLI). In order to conveniently launch HermesPy from any command line, make sure that the virtual Python environment you installed HermesPy in is activated by executing

conda activate <envname>

within a terminal. Usually activated environments are indicated by a (<envname>) in front of your terminal command line. Afterwards, HermesPy can be launched by executing the command

hermes <configuration> -o <output_dir>

The configuration should point to a configuration file describing the simulation scenario. Refer to the repository for examples. The available argument options are
