Reread the documentation, you are misunderstanding it. You don't have to 
modify the simpleRun.py script, you should invoke it from the commandline 
with the file as one of its arguments:

$ python simpleRun.py --infmat_file /home/lai/Downloads/influence_matrix_files/hprd_inf_.mat

As there are more required arguments you will end up with a very long 
command line. But there is an alternative. Create a config file like the 
following

https://github.com/raphael-group/hotnet/blob/master/example/configs/simple.config

where you replace all the file names with those of your actual files and 
then invoke simpleRun.py with

$ python simpleRun.py @roy_snuffles.config
