An example with the 2015 M7.8 Nepal earthquake
Here I will walk you step by step through running the Nepal earthquake. This is one of the pre-canned examples which you can find in the MUD/examples folder. Note this is using only the high-rate GPS stations. If you want to reproduce the full results that we calculated in the Galetzka et al., 2015 paper in Science, that's more complicated because there we used InSAR. That's for another time. The model you will obtain here is different (this is inversion after all!) from the one in the paper but this is a useful end-to-end exercise.
Parameter files used for inversion have a .inv extension. This is not required I just do it so I have an easy way of identifying what is what. I have a folder separate from everything else where I keep my parameter (.inv) files. So create a folder where you will save all your parameter files and then copy the file nepal_version_2.inv.py from $MUD/examples/nepal_inverse\ into that folder. In my case all my inversion files are in /Users/dmelgar/Slip_inv/run/ this is what that folder looks like for me after copying the relevant file:
