Download the emulator from [https://lisa.sunder.net/downloads.html Sunder]. The latest version, as of this writing, is 1.2.7 Release Candidate 4. However, I had issues with 1.2.7 so I recommend using 1.2.6 instead. Both come with installers for modern Windows and macOS.
We will also want to download the OS itself. You can download the last version of the Lisa Office System from MEGA [https://mega.nz/file/dB9niAhL#psTMJAw8qCKgjlZlgnUQH6p3NUbEYJ3AxFX_PY8Qi0w here]. Extract the .rar somewhere on your system. You can also download Version 2 from [https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/lisa-office-system-20 Macintosh Garden], however it seems to have some issues running in this emulator, so I recommend using Version 3.
If you are using a version before 1.2.0 (why?) you will also have to provide your own boot ROMs. Versions after that can boot without one.
===Running the emulator===

If all goes well, you should boot into a screen with a giant floppy disk. Give the system a few seconds to a minute (depending on your host system speed) to start up.

Now you'll drop into the installation screen. This installation screen actually functions a lot like a modern installation wizard so it's pretty simple to use. Simply move your mouse button over to the Install button.

The installer will ask if you want to use the attached parallel drive. We do want to use it, so click OK.

On this screen, it will state that the disk has either been damaged or is not initialized. Obviously, the disk is not damaged and simply hasn't been initialized, so we'll want to click Continue. This will format the virtual drive.

Here, it will ask you if you want to share the disk with MacWorks. If you plan on installing and using MacWorks with this, choose "Share". Otherwise, choose "Don't Share". I am not going to be using MacWorks, so I chose "Don't Share".

Now the OS will erase and initialize the disk. This process will take several minutes to finish, so just sit back and watch some YouTube videos or something while you wait for it to finish up.
