Executables, example problems, documentation, and source code available from
the PRMS web page (http://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/prms).

Download and uncompress the version that is appropriate for your system.

Java is required for the PRMS GUI. Before you run the example problems in the
GUI, check that you have a current java runtime environment (JRE). If not,
goto http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and download the most
current Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

To run PRMS on the example problem for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint
River basin, double click on (or type the name on the command line) "GUI.bat" 
(or "GUI.sh"). You can run the non GUI-version by running "noGUI.bat" 
(or "noGUI.sh").

There are three R scripts in the merced/output directory.
These scripts will generate various plots using the output file "prms_summary.csv".
To get these scripts to run, you will have to install R (http://www.r-project.org/)
and then double click on the script name. To get these scripts to run on Linux,
use the command "R --no-save < PLOTbasin_vars_daily.R" for each script,
respectively.
