+# AS400 Terminal Install & Setup Instructions
+
+## Install MacOS
+
+For the iMac model, use the following OSX releases:
+
+> **A1195 (White Bezel)** - OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (*10.4 Tiger* to *10.7 Lion*)
+>
+> **A1208 (White Bezel)** - OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard (*10.4 Tiger* to *10.7 Lion*)
+>
+> **A1224 (Silver Bezel)** - OSX 10.10 Yosemite (*10.5 Leopard* to *10.11 El Capitan*)
+>
+> **A1418 (Silverback)** - OSX 10.14 Mojave (*10.8 Mountain Lion* to *10.15 Catalina*)
+
+- During install, split into 2 partitions. Format partition 1 as AFS or HFS. Format partition 2 as Fat32 (Apple refers to Fat32 as just FAT).
+- Install the *next to most recent* version of OSX instead of the most recent onto partition 1.
+- Shut down, then hold option after pressing the power button to choose the startup drive to select the Lubuntu install USB drive.
+
+## Install Lubuntu
+
+- Boot to the Lubuntu USB drive and choose Try Lubuntu. 
+- Once loaded, click the start menu -> **System Tools** -> **KDE Partition Manager**.
+- In the partition manager, select the Fat32 partition and click delete. Then click apply and close the partition manager.
+- Double click the install Lubuntu icon from the desktop.
+- The user name should be terminal (lowercase). For computer name, I used "terminal-MODELMMYY" (ex. terminal-A11950924)
+- Make sure to select the option to not require login when creating the user.
+
+## Setting up Lubuntu with the iAccess software
+
+### Copy files
+
+- Create a new folder on the desktop named temp (all lowercase).
+- Copy the contents of `\\SOHBACKUP\Programs\2024-Terminals` to the new folder you created.
+    - _Alternately you can copy the whole "Terminals" folder to the desktop, right click the folder and rename it to temp._
+
+### Run setup script
+
+- Open the terminal
+    - For Lubuntu 18, it is LXTerminal: **Start** -> **System Tools** -> **LXTerminal**
+    - For Lubuntu 24, it is QTerminal: **Start** -> **System Tools** -> **QTerminal**
+- At the terminal prompt, type the following:
+> `cd ~/Desktop/temp`
+>
+> `sudo chmod +x install*.sh`
+>
+> For 32-Bit systems (A1195 & A1208): `sudo ./install32.sh`
+>
+> For 64-Bit systems (A1224 & A1418): `sudo ./install64.sh`
+
+This installs prerequisites*, JAVA (1.8.0_381), ODBC (2.3.12), IBM iAccess (v1r9), and other configuration files. It should ask you to answer a few questions once it starts installing the IBM software. Answer them all Yes.
