Finally you are ready to run Wandora application. If your operating system in Windows double click '''Wandora.exe'''. Executable simply runs '''bin/wandora.bat''' without console window. If you prefer Linux or Unix (including Mac) as your operating system, browse shell scripts in '''bin''' and choose the script for your memory footprint.

Of course you may launch Wandora directly with startup scripts found in '''bin'''. Script execution keeps the console window open and is useful if you encounter problems running the application or need to adjust the Java environment of application. By default the '''bin''' contains five '''bat''' and '''sh''' scripts. '''Bat''' scripts are for Windows based operating systems while '''sh''' scripts are used in Linux and Unix type platforms.

* '''Wandora-large''' sets JRE's memory to 1G.
 
* '''Wandora-huge''' sets JRE's memory to 1.5G.
 
 
If your operating system is not Windows or Linux or Unix you may need to customize scripts before successful execution of Wandora is possible.
