+# Installation
+Download all two directories into the same folder at a local computer. The structure the three directories is as follows:  
+ 
+- Gams_WrkJRCTIMES  	: contains the model input data 
+- Results   		    : contains the model result generation routines and template files
+ 
+# Contents of the model input data directory
+The model code and input data are in flat text files with the extension .dmp . The folder also contains additional files like solver options and the scripts to run the WIMBY scenarios. In addition, the post-model solution files, with the results of each scenario in raw output format, are also located in this folder.
