	A special **simple Kernel P systems bundle** has been released and is available in `this download url <http://www.p-lingua.org/mecosim/SimpleKernel.html>`_. Go there and press **Launch!** to install and run MeCoSim.

MeCoSim is available in `this download url <http://www.p-lingua.org/mecosim>`_. Go there and press **Install**.

To **run the examples**, simply download the corresponding app (.xls), model (.pli) and scenario (.ec2) do the following from MeCoSim main window:

#. Load the custom application; **load a new app**: in MeCoSim initial screen, option **New** > choose the custom app file (.xls).

#. Run the custom application, by **double-clicking** the desired app (or alternatively by pressing button or menu option **Run**).

#. Set the model; **set a model** inside an app: from the running app, option *Model* > **Set Model** > choose the model file (.pli).

#. Open the scenario; **set a scenario** inside an app: from the running app, option *Scenario* > **Open** > choose the scenario file (.ec2).

#. Simulate the model in *Simulation* > **Simulate!**.

**That's all!** The simulation will run until a halting configuration is reached. Then the user will see a message like this:
