    <PARA>
On Unix and GNU/Linux the easiest way to run the program is to run the script
called <COMMAND>art</COMMAND> in the &prog; installation directory (see <XREF
LINKEND="INSTALLATION">) like this:
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
      <COMMAND>artemis/art</COMMAND>
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
If all goes well you will be presented with a small window with two
menus.  See <XREF LINKEND="LAUNCH-WINDOW"> to find out what to do next.
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
Alternatively you start &prog; with the name of a sequence file or embl file
eg:
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
      <COMMAND>artemis/art artemis/etc/c1215.embl</COMMAND>
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
Or if you have a sequence file and extra feature table files you can read
them all with a command like this (the example file c1215.blastn.tab is the
result of a BLASTN search against EMBL which has been converted to feature
table format):
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
      <COMMAND>
artemis/art artemis/etc/c1215.embl + artemis/etc/c1215.blastn.tab
      </COMMAND> 
    </PARA>
    <PARA>
Note that any number of feature files can be read by listing them after the
plus sign.  The "+" must be surrounded by spaces.
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
See <XREF LINKEND="UNIXARGS"> for a list of the other possible arguments.
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
Here is an alternative way to run &prog; if the <COMMAND>art</COMMAND> script
doesn't work for you:
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
      <COMMAND>
cd ~/artemis
      </COMMAND>
    </PARA>

    <PARA>
      <COMMAND>
java -classpath lib/biojava.jar:lib/jemAlign.jar:lib/j2ssh/j2ssh-core.jar:lib/ibatis/ibatis-2.3.0.677.jar:lib/ibatis/log4j-1.2.14.jar:lib/chado-14-interface.jar:. -Dartemis.environment=UNIX uk.ac.sanger.artemis.components.ArtemisMain
      </COMMAND>
    </PARA>
  </SECT1>
