  The JETSCAPE collaboration announced the first public release of its
framework and Monte Carlo event generator at this conference, providing a
unified interface and a comprehensive suite of model implementations for all
stages of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. This release focuses on
validation of the framework and the $pp$ reference. A full manual is under
development. In the mean-time, these proceedings will provide a guide for
installation and simulation runs in lieu of the more traditional summary of the
presentation.
