=== What is TerraME?  ===

TerraME is a development environment for spatial dynamical modelling based on cellular automata (nested-CA), that links cell spaces to a spatial database for data storage and retrieval. A spatial dynamic model is a model whose locations are independent variables. The outcomes of these models are maps that depict the spatial distribution of a pattern or of a continuous variable. Among the typical applications of TerraME are land change and hydrological models.

=== Download TerraME software ===

To use TerraME, you need to download the following software:

    * TerraView, a free GIS developed by INPE.
    * Eclipse SDK (www.eclipse.org).
    * LUA plugin for Eclipse, available from http://www.ideais.com.br/luaeclipse/.
    * [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/cursos/environmental_modelling/terrame.zip|The TerraME software]] 

=== How do I use TerraME? ===

The best way to learn TerraME is to read [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/TerraME/introd.pdf|"A Gentle Introduction to TerraME"]], which is a simple introduction to the software and contains examples of usage. You may also want to download the "[[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/TerraME/CabecadeBoi.mdb|Cabeça de Boi]]" database and the [[http://www.dpi.inpe.br/TerraME/amazonia.mdb|"amazonia"]] database, which are used by the tutorial examples.
