The OpenQuake Engine command line tool is oq. To run a calculation the command oq engine must be run.

There are several demo calculations included with the package. They are usually located in C:\Program Files(x86)\OpenQuake Engine\demos\\. The real path may actually vary based on where the Engine has been installed.

An example of running the AreaSourceClassicalPSHA demo:

OpenQuake environment loaded
The command 'oq-engine' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'oq engine' instead
C:\Program Files(x86)\OpenQuake Engine>oq engine --run demos\hazard\AreaSourceClassicalPSHA\job.ini

The output should look something like this:
