Installation Guide

The source code is not distributed as a package, therefore, no installation is required. It is highly recommended to use Anaconda to manage the Python environment to run the code. To get started, please follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: Clone the repository to a local directory using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/PEESEgroup/Offshore_Wind_to_H2.git

2. Create a Conda environment: Navigate to the cloned directory and create a Conda environment with the required packages as specified in the Package Requirements section.

conda create --name <environment_name>
# Install the packages listed in Package Requirements

3. Activate the Conda environment and run the code: With the Conda environment activated, you can now run the code as needed.

conda activate <environment_name>
# Run the code
