+<p>To get the GLI applet running, please do the following:
+<ul>
+<li>Install Greenstone and the GLI on your server computer. Currently, this must be a GNU/Linux or Unix machine.</li>
+<li>Set up your web server (eg. Apache) for Greenstone. Check that standard Greenstone works.</li>
+<li>In the gsdl/gli directory, run
+
+    <br><small><tt>keytool -genkey -alias privateKey -keystore appletstore -storepass greenstone</tt></small><br>
+
+  Enter the appropriate details for your organization. When it asks to enter the key password for &lt;privateKey&gt;, choose your own password or hit Enter to use "greenstone".</li>
+
+<li>Run makejar.sh.</li>
+<li>Run
+
+    <br><small><tt>jarsigner -keystore appletstore -signedjar SignedGatherer.jar GLI.jar privateKey</tt></small><br>
+
+  When it prompts, enter the password you used above.</li>
+
+<li>Move the SignedGatherer.jar file created into the gsdl/bin/java directory.</li>
+<li>Edit the gsdl/etc/main.cfg file and set the "gliapplet" field to "enabled".</li>
+<li>Visit your Greenstone homepage and click "The Librarian Interface" button. The applet should load and appear on this page, producing a button that says "Launch Greenstone Librarian Interface...". Clicking this will run the GLI as an applet, allowing users to build collections on your server without having Greenstone installed on their machines.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Note that the applet transfers a lot of data between the machine it is running on and the server. This makes using the GLI applet impractical if you don't have a high speed connection between your machine and the server.
