WESTPA Tutorials Landing Page/Hub

This page serves as the central hub for all WESTPA Tutorials, including those published in LiveCoMS and those presented at our workshops. If you are here to learn how to use WESTPA, you are at the right place!

If you are new to WESTPA, we recommend starting with our LiveCoMS suite of tutorials for WESTPA 2.0 (Bogetti et al. 2023), available in the paper directory (pdf). Tutorials 7.1-7.4 are our basic and intermediate tutorials. Tutorials 7.5-7.10 are our advanced tutorials.

Getting Started

You can download all of the tutorial files from this repository. The easiest way is to clone this repository using git in the command line. Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/westpa/tutorials so you also clone the tutorial files submodules (tutorial 7.1-7.10 files). If you already cloned this repo without the --recursive flag, run git submodule update --init --recursive in the root level of the clone to download the submodules.

Updating this repository

This repository is linked to a specific commit of each tutorial repository using git submodule and updated weekly using a dependabot. To manually update the existing links to the newest commits, run git submodule update --remote --merge and push the commit to this repository.

If you need to move/remove the submodules for any reason, follow the instructions here: https://gist.github.com/myusuf3/7f645819ded92bda6677?permalink_comment_id=3936499#gistcomment-3936499
