Once saved, open a terminal (or log into the machine) if you haven't already, navigate to the
directory where you have placed the Velocity JAR file and the `start.sh` file. Then run
`chmod +x start.sh` and then `./start.sh`. If it worked, you should now receive a console similar to
the output in the next section.
Once you've saved the files, open a terminal (or log into the machine) if you haven't already. Navigate to the directory
where you have placed the Velocity JAR file and the `start.sh` file. Then, you will need to prepare the `start.sh`
script for it to be executable and run it.

1. Run `chmod u+x start.sh`. This command modifies the file's permissions, granting the file's owner (you) the ability to
execute (`x`) the script. Without this step, the system may not recognize the script as something that can be run.
1. Now that the file is executable, run `./start.sh` to run the script.
