I modified a calculation in one of the modules to fit my purpose. How do I run the simulation with my modified source code?

Assuming you've cloned the EnergyPlus repository on GitHub, have you read through the Wiki there?

I believe you'll have to build EnergyPlus, although I have not done it myself. See the Building EnergyPlus documentation for instructions.

I followed the instructions for Mac on the wiki you posted. While configuring and generating it, I got warnings but it displayed a message saying configuration done and generation done. But when I navigate to the build directory from the terminal and type make, it says no makefile found. I am not sure which make file to run as there are many in the build folder.

Sorry, since I haven't done this myself and use a Windows machine, I can't answer your specific question. However, when I built OpenStudio the EXE files appear in a sub directory of the build directory after a successful build. I suggest you ask a separate question here or ask on the UnmetHours energyplus-build Slack channel.

Slack doesn't let me view that page or create an account with my gmail ID.

Hello manasam, were you able to find it out ? I currently have your same problem.
