<li> Download the latest executable and manual from the Downloads page of the <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/downloads/ TUFLOW website]</u>. TUFLOW doesn't require installation, the software only needs to be saved on the modelling machine.<br>
<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>
'''TUFLOW Fixed Grid (Classic and HPC) Modelling'''<br>
<ol>
<li> Free TUFLOW eLearning courses. <br>

<li> After gaining an understanding of TUFLOW through the eLearning and/or tutorial models 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:
Line 25 ⟶ 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 the options listed in the Running TUFLOW section of the Wiki.:<br>

=Fequently Asked Questions (FAQ) =
== Do I require a TUFLOW licence to create TUFLOW inputs and view results from a TUFLOW simulation? ==
No, a TUFLOW licence is only needed to run simulations. All TUFLOW inputs and outputs use free open formats that are read and editable by third party software, for example QGIS and Notepad++:
* Download Notepad++ to create and review tabular data: <u>[[NotepadPlusPlus_Tips | Notepad++ installation and tips]]</u>.
* Download QGIS: <u>[[QGIS_Tips | QGIS installation and tips]]</u>.
* To review maximum ASC/FLT grids just drag and drop them into QGIS.
* Install the TUFLOW Plugin: <u>[[TUFLOW_QGIS_Plugin | TUFLOW QGIS plugin installation and tips]]</u>.
* Use TUFLOW Viewer to review XMDF results: <u>[[TUFLOW_Viewer |TUFLOW Viewer]]</u>. <br>
