Download
Download the kontext installer (2 mb) for all platforms.
Short installation instruction:
- Make sure you have Java 1.4 installed. If you haven’t, get it from the Java download page (you are looking for “Download J2SE”, and then select the link below “JRE”).
- If you’re unsure, open a command line (terminal, command prompt …) and type:
java -version
The result should look roughly like this:
java version "1.4.1_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-99) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-27, mixed mode)
If you receive an error message, no Java VM is installed. If your version reads 1.3 or even lower, please consider upgrading to 1.4.
-
Start the installation process. On Mac OS X, double-click the jar-file. On GNU/Linux, open a terminal and type “java -jar kontext-install.jar” in the directory you downloaded the installer into. If you’re on Windows and downloaded the zip-file, go to the directory you downloaded it into, unzip it, and double-click on the file called “install” that has that strange “MS-DOS” parody of an icon.
The wizard will take care of the rest.
For more information, please refer to the User Guide, which is part of the download and can also be found here.
