 Note that running `micro_manager micro-manager-config.json` from the terminal will not work, as the path in the configuration file is relative to the current working directory. See [#36](https://github.com/precice/micro-manager/issues/36) for more information.

 The C++ solverdummies have to be compiled first using [`pybind11`](https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html). To do so, install `pybind11` using `pip`:

 When changing the C++ solverdummy to your own solver, make sure to change the `PYBIND11_MODULE` in `micro_cpp_dummy.cpp` to the name that you want to compile to.
