Quickstart
This page shall explain how to start using jAugment in just a few, basic
steps.
- Install a recent JDK (1.2 and
1.3 are fine, 1.4 still has many bugs as of the time of writing and should
not be used). a JRE may not be sufficient.
- Download
the installer for the most-recent Version. There are
other ways to install jAugment Use the web-installer as long as you
don't intent to install it to multiple machines. It is supposed to download
only the code you want to install.
- Execute the installer by either clicking on it (if ".jar"-files
are associated with "java -jar %1%") or execute "<JDK-dir>/bin/java
-jat jaugment2install.jar"
- Under Unix-like operating-systrems you should "chmod a+x SwingUI 3DUI
TextUI ant/bin/* buildme" as file-attributes cannot yet be set in Java OS-independently.
- If that was not done while installing the JDK (happens automatically
under Windows) you should set the Environment-variable JAVA_HOME to the path
where you installed the JDK.
- Now execute SwingUI or SwingUI.bat respectively. It should check wether
any files need to be re-compiled and then start the Swing user-interface.
- At the top you'll see a bar where you can switch between all running
services(applications) and to a "start".panel where new servies can be started.
- You stop a service by opening the administrative-menu with the "=="-button.
A new page will apear where you can select the Stoppable-administrative interface
and just click on "stop" and "OK".
