Scipy Differential Evolution - init specifying start

Problematic code:



result = differential_evolution(GA_optimisation, bounds, init=initial_GA_params, args=args)



init : str or array-like, optional
Specify which type of population initialization is performed. Should be one of:
array specifying the initial population. The array should have shape (M, len(x)), where len(x) is the number of parameters. init is clipped to bounds before use.




I am trying to specifying a known starting point for an optimisation. The shape of my array is (1,99), I get the below ValueError



Error:



ValueError("The population supplied needs to have shape (M, len(x)), where M > 4.")


I am unsure of what M actually is? and am unable to find it anywhere in the documentation. Could anyone help with explaining this.
