! <h1><a name="install">Installing AiM under Windows</a></h1>

  These are instructions for installing and configuring AiM. Installation
  has been tested with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
+ <p/>
+ The installation consists of 4 steps:
+ <ol>
+ <li><a href="#maple">Install Maple</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#jre">Install the Java runtime environment</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#tomcat">Install the Tomcat web server</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#aim">Install AiM itself</a></li>
+ </ol>
+ It is likely that you already have both Maple and a Java runtime environment on your computer, in which case you can skip those steps. 
+ If you already have a working of installation of AiM then you will also already have a Tomcat server installed and you can jump directly to <a href="#aim">step 4</a>.

+ <li>(Optional) You can copy data from an old AiM installation to your new installation. All the data is contained in the directory <font color='green'>root</font> inside the <font color='green'>WEB-INF</font> subdirectory of your old AiM installation. You can copy the entire contents into the corresponding <font color='green'>root</font> directory of your new installation. However you also need to make a global search and replace in all files in that directory. If your old installation for example was in <font color='green'>C:/Tomcat/webapps/ROOT/</font> and your new one is in <font color='green'>C:/Tomcat/webapps/AiM/</font> then you want to replace every occurrence of <font color='green'>ROOT</font> by <font color='green'>AiM</font> in all the files.</li>
