I’m unable to run this command: python $PATH_TO_PyWrfHydroCalib/calibOrchestrator.py 1 --optDbPath $PATH_TO_Database.

 A test case would be really helpful, so if anyone has one, please share.

Here is an example from my setup:

python /scratch/fatemehs-fatemehs/calibration/PyWrfHydroCalib-master/calibOrchestrator.py 5 \
    --optDbPath /scratch/fatemehs-fatemehs/calibration/IWAA_calibration5/DATABASE.db

In this example, I use the full path to calibOrchestrator.py and the full path to the SQLite database file. The important point is that --optDbPath should point to the actual DATABASE.db file, not just the database directory. The number 5 refers to the JOB ID used in my setup, so it may need to be changed depending on your database configuration.

Thank you so much for the reply.
When I read the Pywrfhydrocalib setup guide, it mentioned that an example case was included, but I was unable to locate it. Could someone help me find the example test case provided by the WRF-Hydro team or NCAR?
