Dear masoud_seyedi !

You should write in Terminal ! :

cd (Change into the directory of examples) : xFlows/examples/tutorial/section_1
make
./(name of the file) : ./tutorial_1_2

some times you need modify makefile contents (especially in tutorials). it is very simple and you can do it !

Regards

Your well come!

You can do it, read User’s Guide of xFlow here

it is very useful for you, specially this

you can extract data in terminal or in .dat (like TXT files) form.

Indeed, Tutorial 1.4: Data analysis is a very good and comprehensive example.

cheers
