Abstract
This document describes the general process of setting up, running, and analysing disc galaxy simulations using the freely available program Phantom of RAMSES (POR). This implements Milgromian dynamics (MOND) with a patch to the RAMSES grid-based N-body and hydrodynamical code that uses adaptive mesh refinement. We discuss the procedure of setting up isolated and interacting disc galaxy initial conditions for POR, running the simulations, and analysing the results. This manual also concisely documents all previously developed MOND simulation codes and the results obtained with them.
