       Unzip the downloaded file to the HOME directory.

       The following commands build and run the simple example.

           [~]$ cd admb/examples/admb/simple
           [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ~/admb/admb simple.tpl
           [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ./simple

       For MinGW and Cygwin shells, use the **'admb.sh'** script.

           [~]$ cd admb/examples/admb/simple
           [~/admb/examples/admb/simple/]$ ~/admb/admb.sh simple.tpl
