====Running a Model====

Models are Python scripts - you can run them from a Windows command-line or Linux terminal.

For instance, in Linux you'd run a command similar to the one below...

<code>
python3 mymodel.py
</code>

And in Windows you'd have something like below, with //version// replaced by your Python version (ie. 38 for 3.8).

<code>
c:\pythonversion\python mymodel.py
</code>

===As A Service/Daemon===

On Windows, you can use NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) to launch your model process automatically when your computer starts. A version of NSSM is bundled with your ARDI installation, in the **drivers/nssm/win64** folder.

To create your service, open an //administrative// command-prompt, go to the NSSM folder, and type the following...

<code>
nssm install "My Model Service Name"
</code>

...substituting your preferred service name inside the quotes.
