Test run instructions for Windows

[i-sayuh]

Under section 'How to test run LiAISON', it specifies "open a terminal in the root folder". What kind of terminal is this referring to? For example, on my Windows machine, I can execute a .sh file by using anaconda powershell prompt, windows command prompt, or Git Bash. However, each of these applications may interpret commands in different languages. In other words, the "chmod +x test_run.sh" line could work in one application, but not the other because chmod is not recognized. However, chmod simply does not work on windows machines regardless of the type of terminal being used. I tried to execute the command through anaconda powershell prompt but it did not recognize the command. Attached is a screenshot of what ChatGBT said regarding the error (the suggested solution generated by AI fixes the error).

I believe the specific type of terminal to use should be specified and the associated commands should be tailored to the relevant language.

Thanks for the feedback. I realize now a lot of things are different for Windows machine. chmod is associated with bash or linux based terminals. Can you confirm if Anaconda terminal worked flawlessly compared to powershell and git bash? @i-sayuh

Anaconda powershell prompt works fine on windows given one implements the AI generated solution included above. However, it is best to use Git Bash directly when running bash jobs on windows rather than using Anaconda to submit a bash job which leverages Git Bash to execute the job. See issue #13

Using Git Bash directly, one must navigate to the folder where 'test_run.sh' is stored and execute the following line to run the model:

sbatch test_run.sh
