Create a Project Directory

The project directory is the area where the data files for your project are stored. When creating this directory, place it on a file system which is available on the network. Somewhere in your home directory is usually a good starting point.
Note: Do not create the data directory inside the FlowTracer software installation, even if you have installed the software under your home directory. By default, the files under $VOVDIR are excluded from the graph, and your jobs will fail because they appear to have no outputs.

To create the project directory, execute the following:
% cd
% mkdir simple_test
% cd simple_test
