or you can access a help:

$ mhm --help

  Usage: mhm [options] <cwd>

      Description: The desired working directory (optional).

  --help / -h
      Description: Print this help message.

  --version / -v
      Description: Print the version of the program.

  --nml / -n <path>
      Description: The mHM configuration namelist.
      Default: mhm.nml

  --parameter / -p <path>
      Description: The mHM parameter namelist.

$ mhm <path>

to execute mhm for this setup.

hourly forcings

mHM can now run with hourly meteorological forcings for precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and temperature.
