2. Initialisation
#################

The second step is to set a directory dedicated to a sloop experiment.
To do so, run the :doc:`cli.sloop.init` command in a terminal, it will:  

    -  Create a experiment directory {WORK_DIR}/{xpid}/{vapp}/{vconf}.  

    -  Create a link of the sloop and vortex libraries.  

    -  Create a a jobs/ directory.  

    -  Import config to conf/{vapp}_{vconf}.ini from sloop/templates/conf/{vapp}.ini.  

    -  Import the vortex tasks in the tasks/ directory from sloop/templates/tasks.
