We briefly outline the steps required to get started with using and/or developing BoSSS applications.
**In any case**, the [installation](#installation) of the pre-compiled version of BoSSS should be the first step.
Upon finishing this step, you can either
use [BoSSSpad](BoSSSpad) to run pre-compiled applications as well as -- or --
use [BoSSSpad](./BoSSSpad) to run pre-compiled applications as well as -- or --
you can start [working with the source code](./Working-with-BoSSS-as-a-Developer).

* Pre-compiled versions of these shared libraries for Linux can be found in the Windows installation, in the directory `$BOSSS_INSTALL/bin/native/linux/amd64-openmpi`. (There should also be a `zip`\-File that you can unpack on any system.)
