Install

The CollabLine binary distribution has been created via IzPack. The installer is a wizard like interface such as those found for most commercial software packages. In order to run the installer you must have the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4+ installed on your computer. Once installed, you may follow the steps for your operating system on how to install CollabLine below:

Windows

1. Double-click the installer file named CollabLine-install-.jar. This should launch the wizard onto your desktop.
2. Follow the steps for installing CollabLine via the wizard.
3. Once finished, there should be an icon on your desktop to launch CollabLine from. Just double-click the icon and begin using it.

Unix via GUI installer

1. Open a terminal and make sure that java virtual machine is in your PATH with this command:

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01, mixed mode)
