4.3. Running the BCVTB from a terminal window

To run an example from a console (i.e., a dos-shell on Windows or a terminal on Mac OS X or Linux), proceed as follows:

Open a console and change to the directory bcvtb.

Type, for example,

java -jar bin/BCVTB.jar examples/c-room/system.xml

Note that some examples have a file system.xml and system-windows.xml. For these examples, use the file system-windows.xml for Windows and system.xml for Linux and Mac OS X.

To run the example, press the button with the green arrow. You should see an online plot showing the room temperatures and control signals.

The file BCVTB.jar can be run with several optional flags which are described in Section 4.4, “Command line arguments” .
