Setting up FarmDyn

FarmDyn is a bio-economic simulation model for agricultural farms.

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the FarmDyn repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/FarmDyn/FarmDyn.git

2. Open in VS Code

Open the cloned folder in VS Code (File > Open Folder...).

3. Configure Compiling

FarmDyn uses exp_starter.gms as the main entry point for execution. You need to tell GAMS-IDE to use this file.

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and search for "GAMS: Select main GAMS file".
2. Select exp_starter.gms from the list.

Alternatively, you can click on the GAMS file selector in the Status Bar (bottom right) and choose exp_starter.gms.

4. Run the Model

You are now ready to run the model!

• Press F5 or click the Run button (play icon) in the top right corner.
• GAMS-IDE will execute exp_starter.gms, even if you are currently editing a different file within the project.
