1. Install Java, if necessary
All versions of Ptolemy II 4.0.1 require Java 1.4 or later.
Java 1.4.2_04 is preferred.
To run Ptolemy II, the Java runtime environment (JRE) is sufficient.
To run the applets in a browser, the Java plug-in is required.
The JRE is bundled with the plug-in, so downloading the plug-in
is sufficient.
To recompile Ptolemy II from source or extend Ptolemy II with
your own Java code, the Java development kit (JDK) or an equivalent
Java development environment is required. The JDK includes a Java
compiler.
One way to determine what version of Java (if any) is installed is to run our Java Version Applet , which uses the Java 1.4 plug-in.
Another way is to run the command below to see whether you have Java installed, and whether it is the proper version:
java -versionIf the command cannot be found, or the version that is printed is less than 1.4, you should install the plug-in, JRE 1.4, or JDK 1.4
You can determine if the javac
compiler is in your path
with
java -helpIf the command is not found, and you want to rebuild from sources, then you would need to install the JDK.
