Installation Requirements

To install JThreadKit, you need to be running Java 1.2.x or later on a machine with a graphical user interface (the installation program uses Swing components and some other 1.2 features).

After installation, many features of JThreadKit can be used with Java 1.1.x (Java 1.0.x is not supported). Additionally, many features can be used on machines with no graphical interface. After entering a license key, you can even move the installed files to another machine that doesn't have a graphical interface (within the terms of the license agreement, of course!).

Download the installer

The installation program and supporting files are bundled into a single, executable jarfile. You need to use your browser's 'Save Link As' or 'Save Target As' feature to download this jarfile and save it to your hard disk:

install_jthreadkit.jar

or, if your browser has trouble with the ".jar" extension, you can try to download this instead:

install_jthreadkit.zip

Run the installer

Your operating system and version of Java might support simply clicking on install_jthreadkit.jar while graphically browsing files to launch the installation process.

If you can't launch the installer that easily, you can change directories to the downloaded location and run it from the command line like this:

java -jar install_jthreadkit.jar

or, if you downloaded the zip file:

java -jar install_jthreadkit.zip

And if that isn't supported, you can try this instead:

java -cp install_jthreadkit.jar Install

or, if you downloaded the zip file:

java -cp install_jthreadkit.zip Install

Once the installer is running, just follow the prompts and directions it gives you. After installtion, you can delete the install_jthreadkit.jar file.
