What are projects?

ART uses 'projects' to seperate datasets. At the command-line, use the -p argument to specify your current working project. (What is the -p argument?)

A project consists of MySQL tables, and ART output files. Suppose your project is named 'myproject'. The MySQL tables for your project will have names ending with '_myproject'. Your output files for this project will appear in a directory named $ART/myproject/ (Learn more about the ART directory structure)

Creating projects

A project is created when you run the 'calculate' command with the -p argument. If the project already exists, it will be overwritten.

Deleting projects

The 'clean' command will remove all the files and MySQL tables associated with a project.
