# Installation

See the Installation Guide for Detailed Information -- that all applies to general Escape usage as well.

Note that there are no dependendencies on AMF, and therefore EMF or any other modeling technologies to do Java development for Escape or for running generated models within Escape. The deployment environment can be quite light-weight. Simply install the AXF, AGF, and AMP Escape features. You can build from source but in that case you'l need to launch a self-hosted runtime, so it's best to simply install from the update site if you're not actually doing AMP development.

Escape is installed by default with the other model components. If you want to do 3D (really 2 1/2) visualizations, you will want AGF3D and the LWJGL dependency.
