Getting Started

This section walks you through everything needed to run SimPaths for the first time.

Prerequisites

SimPaths is a Java project. Before running simulations you need:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 11 or later
• Maven (for dependency management)
• The required input data files (see Input Data)

Steps

1. Environment Setup — install dependencies and clone the repository
2. Input Data — obtain the required UK input datasets
3. Running Your First Simulation — launch a baseline run
4. Video Tutorials — guided walkthroughs

If you are running multiple or scenario-based simulations, continue to the User Guide after completing these steps.
