 Currently (version 3.7a), depending on the MPI version which is running on your local host, the options for the execution command (which may be {{{mpirun}}} or {{{mpiexec}}}) may have to be adjusted manually in the '''mrun'''-script. A future version will allow to give the respective settings in the configuration file.\\\\
 If you have any problems with the PALM installation, the members of the PALM working group are pleased to help you.
+
+== [=#simple]Simple installation method ==
+
+The simple installation method is using the scripts '''palm_simple_install''' and '''palm_simple_run''' for installing and running PALM.
+
+=== Package Installation ===
+
+'''First step:''' Create a directory:
+{{{
+  mkdir -p ~/palm/current_version/
+}}}
+You can freely choose the directory name, but if you intend to switch to the [#advanced advanced method] of running PALM later, you should use {{{~/palm/current_version}}}. This directory will be called working directory from now on.\\\\
+'''Second step:''' Check out a working copy of the recent PALM version from the svn-repository. Replace {{{<your username>}}} by your valid repository username, and {{{<#>}}} by any of the available PALM releases, e.g. "''3.7a''" (new releases will be announced to members of the PALM mailing list).
+{{{
+  cd ~/palm/current_version
+  svn checkout --username <your username> svn://130.75.105.2/palm/tags/release-<#> trunk
+}}}
+You will be prompted for your password. After completion, a subdirectory trunk will appear in your working directory. It contains a number of further subdirectories, which contain e.g. the PALM source code ({{{SOURCE}}}) and the scripts for running PALM ({{{SCRIPTS}}}). For checking out the most recent PALM version (developer version), see the [#advanced advanced installation method] described above.\\\\
+Please never touch any file in your working copy of PALM, unless you really know what you are doing.
