+We can run [! CAPS-8](/1970s/1973/caps-8) on the SIMH PDP-8 emulator. First, we need to download the ! CAPS-8 kit.

+
+## Using ! CAPS-8
+
+:::tip
+
+If you have not already installed SIMH PDP-8 emulator, see [the VirtualHub Setup tutorial on how to do so](https://setup.virtualhub.eu.org/simh-pdp8/) on Linux and Windows.
+
+:::
+
+Extract the kit you downloaded. Inside you will find several files. Create a folder somewhere to store the files for this VM and move the file named `caps8.tu60` into it.
+
+Now we will create a config file for our VM. Create a text file called `pdp8.ini` with the following content in the VM folder:
+
+```ini
+set mt disable
+set ct enable
+att ct0 caps8.tu60
+boot ct0
+```
+
+![pdp8.ini](./CAPS-8-SIMH-1.webp)
+
+Now open a terminal and move to the VM folder. Run the following command to start the emulator:
+
+```bash
+pdp8
+```
+
+![pdp8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-2.webp)
+
+After the emulator starts, you can enter `DIR` to see a list of files available:
+
+![List of files in ! CAPS-8](./CAPS-8-SIMH-3.webp)
+
+That's it! We used ! CAPS-8. We can create a shell script to make it easy to launch the VM.
+
+### Linux
+
+Create a file called `CAPS-8.sh` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+pdp8
+```
+
+Now make the file executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x CAPS-8.sh
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM using the shell script. For example, on KDE you can right-click the file and choose `Run in Konsole` or on GNOME, where you can right-click the file and choose `Run as executable`. The VM will start.
+
+See the [manuals section](/1970s/1973/caps-8/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-8 page](/1970s/1973/caps-8/) to learn how to use it.
+
+### Windows
+
+Create a file called `CAPS-8.bat` with the following content:
+
+```bash
+pdp8
+```
+
+Now you can start the VM by double-clicking the shell script. See the [manuals section](/1970s/1973/caps-8/#manuals) on the [main ! CAPS-8 page](/1970s/1973/caps-8/) to learn how to use it.
