This is a simple toolbox with a use-friendly graphical interface, which is very suitable for those without high programming skills.
The parameters of the GWO algorithm can be easily defined in the toolbox.
The default name of the objective function is CostFunction. If you have a look at the CostFunction.m file, you may notice that the cost function gets the variables in a vector ([x1 x2 ... xn]) and returns the objective value. You can either write you objective function in this file or create a new file and pass its name to the toolbox. Remember to follow the same structure for input and output if you decided to go for the second option.
The lower bounds and upper bounds of variables should also be written as lb1,lb2,...,lbn and ub1,ub2,...,ubn. If all of the variables have equal lower and/or upper bounds you can just define lb and ub as two single number numbers: lb, ub.

Just run the GWO_toolbox.m file and enjoy!
