apa.cls is a LaTeX2e class file that makes your document conform to the APA Publication Manual (Fifth Edition, 2001) specifications for manuscripts or to the APA journal look found in journals like the Journal of Experimental Psychology etc. In addition, it provides a regular LaTeX-like output with a few enhancements and APA-motivated changes.
This is a document *class* which uses (and modifies) some packages to achieve strictly defined formatting results and also uses the apacite package (sty & bst) for citations and references. If you only want APA-like citation for other kinds of documents (e.g., a thesis) use apacite.sty with an appropriate class.

Other than a running LaTeX2e installation and the apacite package for APA style citations (sty and bst), there isn't much you need in order to use apa.cls. Required packages for man mode are endfloat and endnotes. For jou mode there are no required packages.

apa.cls is distributed with two files you must read carefully before trying to use it, apacls.txt and examples.txt.
