Generating load profile in linux, libraries required

[brunorigal]

Hi, tanks for this nice software
I would like to run the software in linux. I did the chmod command you suggested in a closed issue. However, once it is done, how can I run the software? Does it need Wine?

[brunorigal]

Got it, it just needs dotnet

But now when I run:

./simengine2 LaunchJsonParallel -d /home/user/household_config.json -ar /home/user/results/

I get the following error:

~/garbage/load_sim » ./simengine2 LaunchJsonParallel -d /home/user/garbage/load_generator_configs/res.json -ar /home/bruno/garbage/load_results                                           134 ↵ bruno@brg5

The parallel running is not implemented in Linux, because for Linux there are very good tools to automate that already. This needs to be better documented though, so thanks for pointing that out.

Look for example at https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/
This can be easily used together with the LPG.

Great it works well. Do you have some documentation concerning the simulation parameters files?

There is this:

It's a bit outdated though.
