Before you read this article any further, read [[About Cumulus|the article that introduces Cumulus]] first, as that will explain what Cumulus software can do for you, then you will be linked back to this page.
 
This Wiki article was originally exactly what Steve Loft said in the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=39 MX early builds support forumfortum] when he first started experimenting with Cumulus MX and access was restricted to those willing to experiment with his tests.
 
At that stage, Cumulus 1 was still recommended for most users, because MX was experimental and it had limited functionality. Now that further development is adding lots more functionality into MX, this is the Cumulus flavour that most users will select to install and run. However, whether you have used Cumulus 1 in the past, or are new to Cumulus, there are no instructions built into the MX package, so it is hoped that the update of this article will help people to understand MX sufficiently to use it both more easily and to maximum capability.
 
In addition, Steve Loft who wrote and developed Cumulus, no longer offers any support. Consequently, usage of MX has the significant advantage that Mark Crossley who has been responsible for all recent releases is able to answer questions in the support forum [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=40 for recent MX releases]
