===Using the [[TheDesigner|Designer]]
The simplest way to get started with The Grapherator is to download and run the pre-packaged JAR file.
When the JAR file is run, the Designer is launched and presents you with the opportunity to design and save your Bullet Graphs.
Follow these steps:
* download the ZIP file—BulletGrapherator.zip from [http://kenai.com/projects/bulletgrapherator/downloads/download/BulletGrapherator.zip here]<br/>store it in a nice safe directory.<br/>BulletGrapherator.zip contains BulletGrapherator.jar and the .\lib directory containing the ancillary JAR files The Grapherator requires.
* unzip it, or use "jar xf BulletGrapherator.zip"
* run it:
** from a command window (DOS prompt) with "java -jar BulletGrapherator.jar", or
** if your system is configured to launch executable JARs, do so (in Windows, double-click in Explorer usually does it)
* enjoy the [[TheDesigner|Designer]]
