This repository contains the template for the project setup alpx. needed to run the LUX EnergyTwin model.
To start you have to create your own project repository (using this as a template). This can be done by going to github.com, pressing 'create a new repository', and at step 2 ("Configuration") at 'Start with a template' you should select LUX_ProjectTemplate.
After creating the repository, all "ProjectTemplate" words in the files and filenames in the new project repository (excluding the data_Generic folder) should be replaced with your project name. Note that this project name can not contain any spaces and special signs. Just letters, digits and _ or -. The project name should also always start with a capital letter. (Except if it starts with a digit, then just somehwere in the name a capital letter is fine!). Note that "projecttemplate" is also found in the files, which should be replaced with the non-capatilized version of your own projectname as well. -> Meaning find-replace should be case sensitive.
To make this easy, a powershell script has been made that can be ran by executing (double clicking) the Run-Rename.bat file. Then filling in your project name that meets the requirements, and pressing ok. The powershell script then replaces all instances of "ProjectTemplate" (and "projecttemplate") in the repository with the new project name (and the non capatilized project name). (Excluding the data_Generic folder).
For linux the same power shell script can be used. It can be run using: ./Rename-ProjectTemplate.ps1 -ProjectName "MyCoolApp"
After running the rename script, the repository is ready for use and the bat and powershell (ps1) file can be removed from the repo. Just like (the contents of) this README.
