+Compiled demo app
+-----------------
+To build:
+Run julia in this folder:
+```bash
+cd BattMo.jl/apps/demo_app_with_plotting
+julia --project=.
+```
+Add the demo app using `dev`:
+```julia
+]dev ./BattMoDemoApp
+```
+You can hit backspace to leave package mode and compile the executable:
+```julia
+include("create_executable.jl")
+```
+If a window appears during compilation you will have to close it for the compilation to continue once a plot has appeared. This will take some time, especially the first time you run it. It will create a folder named `battmo_compiled`. You can then run the following command in your terminal to simulate a test case:
+```bash
+./battmo_compiled/bin/BattMoDemoApp ./data/p2d_40_jl.json
+```
+You will then get output and a plot. The program terminates once the plot is closed. If you are using Windows the executable will be named `BattMoDemoApp.exe` and you will have to change the paths to use `\` instead of `/`.
