  <p>This chapter is about verifying your installation by performing
    a simple test to see that your system is properly installed.</p>

  <section>
    <title>Windows</title>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p>Start Erlang/OTP by double-clicking on the Erlang shortcut icon on the
          desktop.</p>
        <p>Expect a command line window to pop up with an output looking something like this:</p>
        <pre>
  Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [64-bit] [smp:2:2]

  Eshell V6.0  (abort with ^G)
  1></pre>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>Exit by entering the command <c>halt()</c>,</p>
        <pre>
  2> <input>halt().</input></pre>
        <p>which should close the command line window and stop Erlang/OTP. </p>
