VARKON - 6 min tutorial

# Start your first job

The first thing you will see when you start Varkon for the first time is the "Select mode" dialog.

To start Varkon in generic mode, select `Edit or create a module`. You will then see the "Select job" dialog.

The default path for Varkon jobs is your home directory. In the example above this is `/home/jkr`. It is good practice to have your Varkon jobs in a separate directory so the first thing to do is to create a new job directory. Press the New button. You will then see the "Create directory" dialog (you can also navigate to any other place in your file system and create the new directory there).

Enter `varkon_jobs` and press OK. A new directory is now created and you will see it listed in the "Select job" dialog. Navigate to the new directory by selecting it with the mouse. Then enter `my_first_job` in the Filename: input field.

Finally, press OK in the "Select job" dialog. You have now started Varkon and it's time to go to the next section, you have 4 minutes left !

Varkon version 1.19C svn# 120
