The CAT System can be downloaded from the following location: https://drive.google.com/open?id=161wpeNQIkEcR9gAWRDazPUaKX3wHCA7B

On downloading the CAT Kit zip file and extracting its contents, please install the included Repast Simphony v1.2.0 for Windows. This is the required version of Repast Simphony that the included code is optimized to run with. Once installation of Simphony is complete, run Repast Simphony IDE. It will ask for a workspace to utilize. Please navigate to where you have extracted the CAT files, and select the folder labeled CAT3. Once Repast's version of Eclipse Ganymede finishes opening, you can immediately run the software in one of two ways. To see the visual interface detailed in this chapter, select the circular green “Run” icon from the toolbar. This will immediately run the visual interface version of the CAT. If you click the small arrow immediately next to the green icon, you will be given the option to choose either “ConesWorld,” which is the visual interface or “CATnG,” which runs an interface‐free version of CAT. Open‐source coders who are unfamiliar with the Repast Simphony visual interface may wish to utilize this latter option.

Once the visual interface has begun, the “User Panel” tab can be accessed to allow the alteration of various attributes of the run, including population size, the number of different landscapes used, and how many years/generations the system should run over. These attributes are discussed in greater detail in later sections. On pressing the blue “Start Run” button, the system will begin processing with the given attributes. A right clicking within the visual ConesWorld display window will allow a drag interface to move the visuals, and a mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out. The left and right mouse buttons pressed in unison can be used instead of the mouse wheel to zoom. Different attributes of the run can be viewed via the tabs located at the bottom of the screen.
