![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.
