Run a first simulation

This section explains how to run a first simulation.

Post installation steps

If a Python package is produced in the build phase, then after installation, the Python package (“wheel”) can be found under the folder <install_dir>/share/BornAgain/wheel. The wheel can be installed via pip; for instance

python3 -m pip install <install_dir>/share/BornAgain/wheel/bornagain-*.whl

Running the first Python simulation

In your installation directory you will find the following directory structure:

|-- lib               - BornAgain libraries
|-- share
|   |-- BornAgain
|       |-- Examples - Example scripts
|       |-- wheel    - Python wheel
|       |-- bornagain_build.log

Run an example and enjoy your first BornAgain simulation plot.

python <install_dir>/share/BornAgain/Examples/scatter2d/CylindersAndPrisms.py
