+== The APEX Engine
+The APEX engine can be started in different ways, depending your requirements.
+All scripts are located in the APEX __bin__ directory
+
+On UNIX and Cygwin systems use:
+
+- `apexEngine.sh` - this script will
+ ** Test if `$APEX_USER` is set and if the user exists, terminate with an error otherwise
+ ** Test if `$APEX_HOME` is set. If not set, it will use the default setting as `/opt/ericsson/apex/apex`.
+ Then the set directory is tested to exist, the script will terminate if not.
+ ** When all tests are passed successfully, the script will call `apexApps.sh` with arguments to start the APEX engine.
+- `apexApps.sh engine` - this is the general APEX application launcher, which will
+ ** Start the engine with the argument `engine`
+ ** Test if `$APEX_HOME` is set and points to an existing directory. If not set or directory does not exist, script terminates.
+ ** Not test for any settings of `$APEX_USER`.
+
+On Windows systems use `apexEngine.bat` and `apexApps.bat engine` respectively.
+Note: none of the windows batch files will test for `%APEX_USER%`.
+
+Summary of alternatives to start the APEX Engine:

+The APEX engine comes with a few CLI arguments for setting configuration and policy model.
+The configuration file is always required.
+The policy model file is only required if no model file is specified in the configuration, or if the specified model file should be over written.
+The option `-h` prints a help screen.
