-(editing now12/7/23)+  - open a terminal: 
 +    - if you're on Windows: click "​Start",​ then type "​cmd" ​(+ Enter) 
 +    - on a Mac: press Command + Spacetype "​terminal"​ (+ Enter) 
 +    - on Linux: you'll know how to open a terminal 8-) 
 +  - change to the directory where you downloaded binvox (typically your ''​Downloads''​ folder) 
 +  - run ''​binvox''​ without parameters to see a usage summary 
 +    - on Mac/Linux you may first have to run ''​chmod 755 binvox''​ once, to make the file executable 
 +  - find and download a 3D model you want to voxelize (you could search "​download 3d models"​ in Google) 
 +    - make sure it's in a format that binvox supports 
 +    - alternatively,​ use [[https://​www.patrickmin.com/​binvox/​mug.ply|this small test model of a mug]] 
 +  - let's voxelize using the default methods (z-buffer based carving and parity voting), to a voxel grid of 128 x 128 x 128 voxels: 
 +    - type in the terminal: ''​binvox -d 128 mug.ply''​ (+ Enter) 
 +    - a 128 x 128 window should open showing the mug from 6 directions, first briefly in white, then slice by slice in yellow and orange 
 +  - a file ''​mug.binvox''​ has been created (or ''​mug_1.binvox'',​ ''​mug_2.binvox'',​ and so on, if this file already existed in the directory) 
 +  - you can view it using "​viewvox":​ if you downloaded viewvox to the same directory, run it with ''​viewvox mug.binvox''​
