 Start MatLab, change the "current directory" (see above of the command window) to the file called "simuledutor" (the one you just downloaded & unziped) and type the following command in the command window:
  >> ! java simuleditor &
 B.2) If you do not have MatLab installed:
 To start SimulEditor open a terminal and change the path to the file called "simuleditor" (the one you just downloaded & unziped). Once you are in the file simuleditor type the following command:
