quickstart

(1) With Matlab Installation from Linux Command Line

set up VLBI simulation scenario in input_val.yaml file (you can find plenty of examples in the EXAMPLES/ folder)

then run, e.g.: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2020a/bin/matlab -c ~/.matlab/R2020a_licenses/license_jgruber1_338656_R2020a.lic -nodisplay -r 'vierds input_val.yaml; exit;'
