Why not use E+ directly and side-step OpenStudio?

Just make sure the following system variables are setup in bash/zsh

Ex.

export ENERGYPLUS_DIR=~/energyplus/EnergyPlus-8-2-0

export ENERGYPLUS_WEATHER=$ENERGYPLUS_DIR/WeatherData

export PATH=$PATH:$ENERGYPLUS_DIR

You can then just use:

runenergyplus XXX.idf WEATHERFILE

As of E+ v8 and onwards, the bin directory is no longer used. So 'PreProcess' and 'PostProcess' is the standard install.
