Number of the simulated reads #15

I am a new learner of the simulator. Firstly, I found that it is hard to install the pbsim2. However, if I download the source code from the Github and cd into the directory of \src\, it is finished after typing make. Probably, the author should declare it in the readme.txt. Secondly, there is option to directly simulate the number of the reads as imagined like PaSS. Probably, the author could add this option.

Thank you for your using PBSIM2. After downloading the source code, cd pbsim2. Then type the following commands as described in the "INSTALL" file. ./configure make The design of PBSIM2 does not seek to simulate perfectly exact number, accuracy, and length of reads. The exact number of reads can be obtained by sampling from simulation data.
