====== How to run example data ======

After installing Therion you may try it on example data:

  * Download the [[http://therion.speleo.sk/download.php|sample data]] from Therion web page and unpack it somewhere on your computer's hard drive.
  * Run XTherion (under Unix and MacOS X by typing 'xtherion' in the command line, under Windows there is a shortcut in the Start menu).
  * Open the file 'thconfig' from the sample data directory in the 'Compiler' window of XTherion
  * Press 'F9' or 'compile' in the menu to run Therion on the data—you'll get some messages from Therion, MetaPost and TeX.
  * PDF maps and 3D model are created in the data directory. 

Additionally, you may open survey data files (*.th) in the 'Text editor' window and map data files (*.th2) in the 'Map editor' window of XTherion. The format of data files is explained in The Therion Book in detail.
