Using the GUI

Using PESTO with a GUI doesnt require any extra installation. The executable PESTO.exe (from the PESTO-GUI directory) must be copied to the master computer and it can be executed by "double-click" on it.

After starting PESTO.exe a window will appear, asking for two arguments:

  • PESTO-master\master.py will start the whole process (without a GUI, PESTO-master\master.py will be executed from the Command Line)
  • settings file is the .json file with all the arguments needed by PESTO (more Information)

Clicking on start will execute PESTO-master\master.py and the Simulation starts, with the master-output written in the GUI.

Building the GUI from source

The source code of PESTO.exe is located in the PESTO-GUI directory (PESTO.py).

PESTO.py uses Gooey to generate the GUI.

To create the executeble PESTO.exe we used PyInstaller with the following settings:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed pesto.py
