# Getting Started
1. Download the demo example ([zip](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/raw/gh-pages/code/fractal_mosaics.zip), [tgz](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/raw/gh-pages/code/fractal_mosaics.tgz)).
2. Download the [example image set](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_2ApIVBvXm1Y0VMVTVqNUhCaVk/edit?usp=sharing) (9.1 GB database of greyscale images of graffiti).
3. Unpack the zip file containing the example image set and copy its contents into the /library_images folder in the demo example.
4. Navigate to the /m-files directory.
5. Run ‘fractal_mosaic.m’.
1. Clone the Fractal-Mosaics repository (or, if you don't have git, just download the [zip file](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/archive/gh-pages.zip)).
2. Navigate to the /code folder and unpack the 'FractalMosaics_package' zip or tar.gz file. This contains the demo example.
3. Download the [example image set](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_2ApIVBvXm1Y0VMVTVqNUhCaVk/edit?usp=sharing) (9.1 GB database of greyscale images of graffiti).
4. Unpack the zip file containing the example image set and copy its contents into the /library_images folder in the demo example.
5. Navigate to the /m-files directory in the demo example.
6. Run ‘fractal_mosaic.m’.
Your mosaic is now rendering.
WARNING: it takes a long time to render a mosaic (~10.5 hrs on my macbook pro). If you want to optimize it, please do ;)
The demo example creates a black and white mosaic. This is because color takes ~3X as long. To create a color mosaic, download the color image set and set Fractal Mosaics to color mode (see the [Variables](https://github.com/s-ben/Fractal-Mosaics/wiki/Variables) page for info on this). Due to file size limits in Google Drive, the color image set is divided into two zip files ([image set 1](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3M2Bu_2k-QSSnhSVzNWRERtenc/edit?usp=sharing), [image set 2](https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3M2Bu_2k-QSTkxxbEVGay1Gcjg/edit?usp=sharing)).
