This guide shows the core functionality of ACE, organizing bundles and other artifacts into logical features and distributions and associating those with specific targets, all done using a convenient web interface.
-##Using Apache ACE
-
-### Starting the server
+## Download and startup
To start using ACE, you must first launch a server. If you're a developer, you can do that inside Eclipse, as explained [here](/dev-doc/getting-started.html). Otherwise, you need to download a distribution of the server, unpack it, and start it up:
+### Version 0.8.1
+
1. Download a binary distribution of the server from the [download](/downloads.html) page.
1. Unpack the archive somewhere on your filesystem.
1. Start it by running `run.sh` (on Linux and Mac OS X) or `run.bat` (on Windows).
-### Working with ACE
+### Version 1.0 (comming soon)
+
+1. Download the binary distribution called `apache-ace-<version>-bin.zip` from the [download](/downloads.html) page.
+1. Unpack the archive somewhere on your filesystem.
+1. Navigate to the sub directory `server-allinone`.
+1. Start it by running `java -jar server-allinone.jar`
+
+
+## Working with ACE
Apache ACE has both a Web UI and a [REST API](restapi.html) to interact with it. Both use a similar workflow. You start by checking out a copy of the workspace, then you work on that copy, and finally you commit your changes back to the server.
