 ====== Running potfit ======

-After having compiled //potfit// with the desired options, the simulation is started as follows:
+After having compiled a //potfit// binary with the desired options, it is recommended to create a new folder for each //potfit// run. This folder needs to contain at least the parameter, configuration and potential files as well as any other optional files.
-<code bash>potfit_program parameter_file</code>
+A //potfit// run can be started like this:
-The name of the //potfit// program is the same as the compilation target. The parameter file contains all further [[parameters]] describing the simulation.
+<code>potfit_binary <parameter_file></code>
+The name of the //potfit// binary depends on the selected potential model and interaction. The parameter file contains all further [[:parameters]] describing the optimization.
 ===  Parallel execution  ===
-//potfit// supports [[MPI|MPI parallelization]]. If MPI is enabled, the number of MPI processes must be stated at the program start. This is usually done with a (system dependent) startup script like the following one:

 Here, ''P'' is the number of MPI processes.
