Jurtle requires the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) be installed before use. The SDK contains the compiler that translates your program into a form the computer can operate. Mac OS X users will already have the SDK pre-installed. For other platforms, the SDK may be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Please make sure you choose the J2SE SDK download and not the J2EE. You also want the standalone SDK, not the NetBeans co-bundle.
Installing Jurtle on Windows Run the Jurtle_1.7.exe installer and follow the instructions.
Installing on Mac OS X If not already mounted after downloading by your browser, double-click the Jurtle_1.7.dmg file to expand and mount the disk image. Open the Jurtle disk image and drag the Jurtle directory into your /Applications directory.
Installing on Linux (or other Unix) Expand the Jurtle_1.7.zip file and copy the directory to your prefered location. The Jurtle directory has a run.sh file that will launch Jurtle for you. You will need to edit the run.sh file to specify which browser to use in Jurtle. You will also need to make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is defined and points to your current Java SDK installation (e.g. /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03).
