<li> You are now ready to start TUFLOW modelling (TUFLOW currently only runs on Windows). There are multiple options available to help you learn TUFLOW:<br>
<li> Download the latest version of your preferred GIS software and text editor software. These are used for model creation and result viewing. A list of the most commonly used software is available from the <u>[[Tutorial_Model#Software | Software]]</u> section of the Tutorial Model Introduction Wiki page.

<li> After gaining an understanding of TUFLOW through the tutorialeLearning modeland/or tutorial datasetmodels you may be interested in developing some of your own models for testing. A free Demo option is included within the standard TUFLOW executable. The free Demo version is fully enabled, though has the following limits:
:*100,000 total cells and 30,000 active (potentially flooded) cells
:*100 1D channels
Line 13 ⟶ 19:
:*A simulation time of 10 minutes.
The free Demo mode is called using the TUFLOW Control File (TCF) command: <font color="blue"><tt>Demo Model </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>== </tt></font><tt>ON</tt><br>
<li> Run TUFLOW using any of the options listed in the <u>[[Running_TUFLOW | Running TUFLOW ]]</u> section of the Wiki.:<br>
<li> Over 60 example models demonstrating the most commonly used TUFLOW features are available from the <u>[[Example_Models_Home_page | Example Models]]</u> section of the Wiki. These models call the Demo mode mentioned above, and as such don't require a licence to run. Use these models to learn how to implement features not included in the TUFLOW Tutorials.
