```sh

We export `r1cs` to `json` format to make it human readable.
### 14. Setup
### 14. Calculate the witness
First, we create a file with the inputs for our circuit:
```sh
cat <<EOT > input.json
{"a": 3, "b": 11}
EOT
```
Now, we use the Javascript/WASM program created by `circom` in the directory *circuit_js* to create the witness (values of all the wires) for our inputs:
```sh
circuit_js$ node generate_witness.js circuit.wasm ../input.json ../witness.wtns
```
### 15. Debug the final witness calculation
Now, again with snarkjs we can check the generated witness:
```sh
snarkjs wtns debug circuit.wasm input.json witness.wtns circuit.sym --trigger --get --set
```
And check for any errors in the witness calculation process (best practice).
The `wtns debug` command logs every time a new component starts/ends (`--trigger`), when a signal is set (`--set`) and when it's read (`--get`).
### 16. Setup
