 === Middleware ===
 
+Before you can start any other software, that uses HAMcast API and stack, you must configure and start the HAMcast middleware. To configure the HAMcast middleware see [wiki:dokumentation/howto/configure here].
+
 ----
 
 === Programs and Tools ===
 
+All software based on the common multicast API and network stack provided by HAMcast need its library (libhamcast) and a running middleware (see above). If you have not installed ''libhamcast'' to standard folders, e.g. {{{/usr/lib/}}}, you must specifiy the environment variable {{{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}} pointing to libhamcast path. 
+
+To do so, run:
+
+{{{
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-libhamcast>
+./<program>
+}}}
+
+or
+
+{{{
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path-to-libhamcast> ./<program>
+}}}
+
+Also check the README file of the program for further information on requirements and instructions. Most of our tools provide usage and help infos, run {{{./<program> -h}}}.
