# 1.2. Running the Code

The command to run a basic serial Sierra/SM analysis is:

    sierra adagio -i sierra_input.i

The command to run a basic parallel Sierra/SM analysis is:

    sierra -j 4 adagio -i sierra_input.i

The sierra command also optionally takes many more options to specify number of processors, queues to use, output log file names, etc. See the sierra command documentation for a full description of capabilities. The command to generate the sierra command documentation is:

    sierra --help

The command to generate adagio specific options is:

    sierra adagio --help

Note sierra script command line options have to be placed before the adagio command.
