PRIMER is run from the PRIMER button in the SHELL:

Users who are running on a device without a window manager should use the PR option in the command-line SHELL. This will mean that the programme runs in command-line mode only, ie no graphics, which may be suitable for batch usage.

If your system has been customised locally you may have to use some other command or icon: consult your system manager in this case.

PRIMER may be run both locally on your machine and remotely, in client/server mode, using the remote machine (client) to display on the local screen (server). For remote usage it will be necessary to set the host's DISPLAY environment variable to point to the server, and to enable remote display on the server: see section 1.3 if you have problems doing this.
