.. _popy_create:

popy_create
##############

To help you get started with a new script, we provide a tool called :command:`popy_create` that generates an example of one of the :ref:`script_formats`. You do this by opening a :ref:`open_a_popy_command_prompt` and typing:-

.. code-block:: console

    $ popy_create [script_type] my_script.pyml

where **[script_type]** is one of the script names ("fit", "gen", "tut", and so on.). See :ref:`script_formats` for a list of all script types.
 
Typically, the new script can then be edited using :ref:`popy_edit` to suit current requirements or immediately run using :ref:`popy_run`. See :ref:`create_scripts` for more information.
