Step 2. Create information file


To see what the information that a developer needs to add to the extension database, use "list" command:
     landis-extensions list 




Information for each extension:
     Extension - the name of the extension that the user puts in scenario files
     Version - a string so developer can chosen whatever any format (examples: "1.0", "2.3-b1")
       Type - the extension's type (examples: succession, disturbance:fire, output)
     Assembly - the name of the NET assembly that contains extension
     Class - the name of the class that is the extension main entry point (i.e. contains Initialize() and Run() methods) 
     Description - that appears in the listing by extension-tool and LANDIS-II user documentation
     User Guide - the extension's user guide       


Using Notepad or your preferred text editor, create information file "Hello World v1.0.txt" with following content:
 



Save file in any folder of your choice (e.g., "My Documents\LANDIS-II\Hello World extension\") and close the file.
