All Programs, Jim then the Jim menu item.
Note: you may want to drag the Jim menu item onto your
desktop to create a desktop shortcut.

will see a menu of items for Jim (and the stand-alone tools) in the
Start Applications menu.

desktop to create a shortcut.
- On a Mac, click on the Jim icon in the installation folder
(/Applications/Xinapse/Jim6), or in the folder on your desktop.

- On other Unix machines (Solaris, although this also applies to
Linux and Mac), make sure that the installed location for Jim (normally
/opt/Xinapse/Jim6) is in your
path, then type:
Jim
in a command window. If you chose a different installation directory and cannot remember
where you installed to, then you can find the actual installed
location using the command
find / -name Jim6 -print
Note: see the customisation instructions for
Unix systems (Linux/Solaris) or
Macintosh systems
if you want to put the scripts to start Jim in more convenient location.
You will now see the clinical use disclaimer for Jim and the
associated tools. Please read the disclaimer
carefully, and if you agree with the terms of the disclaimer, then click
the 
button.
If you do not accept the terms of the disclaimer, then please click the
button. Jim will exit if you do this, since you may not use
Jim without reading and accepting the disclaimer.
The Jim main display window should now appear.
You can view and review the clinical use disclaimer at any time by
selecting Disclaimer from the Help menu.
