SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Cafun is implemented in the Java programming language which makes it run on
multiple computing platforms, like Unix/Linux or Windows for example. All that
is needed is a special software called "Java Runtime Environment", or "JRE" for
short. In order to run Cafun, you'll need a Java Runtime Environment of version
1.4.2 or later, which can be downloaded for free at:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

256 MB RAM or more.


INSTALLATION

First make sure that you have a Java Runtime Environment of version 1.4.2 or
later installed. On Unix/Linux it is especially important that the JAVA_HOME
environment variable is properly set. Then all you have to do is to unzip all
files contained in cafun-1.0.zip to a directory of your choice.


START CAFUN

Windows users will find a file called "cafun.bat". All they have to do is to
double-click on it. Unix or Linux users will have to execute the shell script
"cafun.sh". Alternatively, it is possible to start Cafun with the command
"java -jar cafun.jar".


YOUR FIRST SIMULATION

There are several sample simulations in the Cafun package that give you a first
impression of Cafun's capabilities. You can find them in the "simulations"
directory.

You can open a simulation with the Simulation -> Open Simulation... command from
Cafun's main menu. You will be asked whether you want to open a default
universe. Just answer with "Yes" and and the simulation will be loaded. Before
you start simulating you might want to activate the make up view. You do so by
selecting the "Make Up View" button on the toolbar. Finally click on the
"Simulate Once" or "Start Simulation" button to start the simulation and be
fascinated!


DEINSTALLATION

Just delete the directory which you used for the installation of Cafun!
