# How to install ! CAPS-8 on SIMH?
|
||||
|
||||
![SIMH PDP-8 emulator with ! CAPS-8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-3.webp)
|
||||
|
||||
We can run [! CAPS-8](/1970s/1973/caps-8) on the SIMH PDP-8 emulator. First, we need to download the ! CAPS-8 kit.
|
||||
|
||||
## Downloads
|
||||
|
||||
You can download the kit needed to run ! CAPS-8 on the SIMH PDP-8 emulator from the ["SIMH Legacy" website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):
|
||||
|
||||
- [! CAPS-8 kit](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/caps8_all.zip)
|
||||
|
||||
## Using ! CAPS-8
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-8 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp8/) on Linux and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `caps8.tu60` into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp8.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
set mt disable
|
||||
set ct enable
|
||||
att ct0 caps8.tu60
|
||||
boot ct0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![pdp8.ini](./CAPS-8-SIMH-1.webp)
|
||||
|
||||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pdp8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![pdp8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-2.webp)
|
||||
|
||||
After the emulator starts, you can enter `DIR` to see a list of files available:
|
||||
|
||||
![List of files in ! CAPS-8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-3.webp)
|
||||
|
||||
That's it! We used ! CAPS-8. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `CAPS-8.sh` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
pdp8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now make the file executable:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x CAPS-8.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can start the VM using the shell script. For example, on KDE you can right-click the file and choose `Run in Konsole` or on GNOME, where you can right-click the file and choose `Run as executable`. The VM will start.
|
||||
|
||||
See the [manuals section](/1970s/1973/caps-8/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-8 page](/1970s/1973/caps-8/) to learn how to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
Create a file called `CAPS-8.bat` with the following content:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pdp8
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1973/caps-8/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-8 page](/1970s/1973/caps-8/) to learn how to use it.
