# How to install CAPS-11 on SIMH?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
We can run [! CAPS-11](/1970s/1970/caps-11) on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator. First, we need to download the ! CAPS-11 kit.
|
||
|
||
## Downloads
|
||
|
||
You can download the kit needed to run ! CAPS-11 on the SIMH PDP-11 emulator from the [“SIMH Legacy” website](http://simh.trailing-edge.com/):

## Using ! CAPS-11
|

|
||
|
||
If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-11 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11/) on Linux and Windows.
|
||
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find two files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM, and move the file named `caps11.t60` into it.
|
||
|
||
Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp11.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
|
||
|
||
```ini
|
||
set cpu 11/05
|
||
set throttle 5%
|
||
set cpu 32k
|
||
set ptr disabled
|
||
set ptp disabled
|
||
set lpt disabled
|
||
set dz disabled
|
||

set rl disabled
|

|

run 1000
|

```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pdp11
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
After the emulator starts, you can type `dir` followed by enter. It will list all the files available on the disk.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
That's it! We used ! CAPS-11. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM. Create a file called `caps-11.sh` with the following content:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#!/bin/bash
|
||
pdp11
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now make the file executable:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod +x caps-11.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/1970/caps-11/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-11 page](/1970s/1970/caps-11) to learn how to use it.
|
||
|
||
### Windows
|
||
|
||
:::tip
|
||
|
||
You should use Linux. If you don’t know how to install a Linux distro, see [our tutorials on how to install Kubuntu](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/tag/os/), a beginner-friendly distro.
|
||
|
||
:::
|
||
|
||
On Windows, you need to place the `PDP11.exe` file you downloaded in [this tutorial](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp11#windows) in the VM folder. Then you can follow the above tutorial as usual. The shell script will not work on Windows. You need to rename it to `caps-11.bat`. Then you can double-click the file to launch the VM, no need to make it executable.
