Last year, I sent an article about openModeller to the Ukrainian “GIS and Protected Areas” journal. I sent it, and because of work and other stuff, I completely forgot about it. But it was only me who forgot; the article was included in the last year’s issue of the journal.
In the post “Getting started with openModeller” I showed how to use openModeller Desktop to identify areas at risk from invasive species. Another task that can be done with openModeller is modelling the distribution of species under new climate conditions.
In the post about openModeller command-line tools, I have mentioned request files several times. When using openModeller from the command line, we have to deal with these files very often, as they allow us to perform almost all necessary actions and go from the input data to the results.
Last year I wrote “Getting started with openModeller” post which gave an overview of openModeller - a free open-source ecological niche modelling tool - and showed how to run experiments in the openModeller desktop GUI. However, it is often faster and easier to perform the necessary actions using command-line tools. This is the subject of this post.
