    We have the presentation of a computer program that solves the evolution equations in QCD for the parton momentum distributions basing on Monte Carlo technique and Markovian processes. The paper consists of seven sections and one appendix, which shows the listing of source code. The first section is an introduction, which presents the outline of the problem with the detailed considerations about the work that has been done so far in this field by other researchers. The solution given by the authors was intended to fill-in the gap that has appeared in the case of possible use of the MC methods as an alternative to the other numerical methods of solving the evolution equations (EVEQs) for parton distribution functions (PDFs). The second section presents the short theoretical background -- only a few formulae and necessary definitions are given. They help to explain the used notation, to define the problem and to present the solution. In the program the authors have implemented three types of the evolution (\(A\): the DGLAP evolution, \(B'\): the modified-DGLAP \(B'\)-type evolution, and \(C'\): the modified-DGLAP \(C'\)-type evolution) differing by the definition of the evolution kernel \({\mathcal K}_{ff'}\). In the next section we have the detailed description of the written program. It was written using \texttt{C++} and was placed in four folders. The listing of the source code is given in the Appendix A, but here the reader, step by step, has the description of successive functions, parameters and assumed solutions. Section 4 presents the description of the installation process and how one can test the correctness of the installation. The next section shows two demonstration programs (a simple demonstration and a more advanced one), which the user should run after the installation. They demonstrate how to generate MC events for any of the eight evolution types supported by the program. Section 6 shows a variety of the tests that can be performed in order to verify program correctness and determine its overall technical precision. For each type of test we have a presentation of obtained results with the sets of histograms. The paper is crowned in Section 7.
