To run Locust with the above locust file, if it was named *locustfile.py*, we could run
(in the same directory as locustfile.py)::

locust
locust --host=http://example.com

or if the locust file is located elsewhere we could run::

locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py
locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --host=http://example.com

To run Locust distributed across multiple processes we would start a master process by specifying --master::

locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --master
locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --master --host=http://example.com

and then we would start an arbitrary number of slave processes::

locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --slave
locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --slave --host=http://example.com

If we want to run locust distributed on multiple machines we would also have to specify the master host when
starting the slaves (this is not needed when running locust distributed on a single machine, since the master
host defaults to 127.0.0.1)::

locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --slave --master-host=192.168.0.100
locust -f ../locust_files/my_locust_file.py --slave --master-host=192.168.0.100 --host=http://example.com
