New Installation

Prerequisites

If you run Pda on MacOSX, please check whether you have Java version 1.5.x installed on your machine. To do that open a terminal and enter the command “java -version”. The result must show something like

  java version "1.5.0_05"
  Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-89)
  Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-52, mixed mode, sharing)

For the windows and linux version, a suitable Java runtime environment is part of the Pda-release.

If you don’t have Java installed, you can install it from the CD; the directory “java” contains the suitable installation files for Windows, Linux, and MacOsX architectures.
