This tutorial has been updated for JAS 2.2 and hep.lcd 1.3.1 as of November 2000.
The instructions for installing JAS depend on whether you are using Windows or Unix. Installation of both systems is described below. Once you have installed and started JAS the remaining instructions are the same for both Windows and Unix.
To install Java Analysis Studio click on the download button below, select the platform you are using (e.g. Windows) and click on the "Continue" button . If your browser gives you a choice choose "Run this program from its current location", otherwise save the file to a temporary location (e.g. c:\temp), then use windows explorer to navigate to the directory you saved the file in, and double-click on the downloaded .msi file to install it (its probably called jas.msi, but note that by default windows does not show you the file extension, so it may appear to be called just jas). We recommend you choose all the default options during the install process. Note: If you get an "Open With..." dialog after clicking on the jas.msi file read these instructions.
| Don't forget to come back to this page and continue the tutorial once you have finished the install. |
After installation, start Java Analysis Studio by double-clicking on desktop icon
.
Note: If the desktop icon does not appear it may be because you do not have administrator privilege on the machine you are using. In this case navigate to the c:\Program Files\Java Analysis Studio\bin directory and click on the jasw.exe file.
To install Java Analysis Studio click on the download button below, select the platform you are using (e.g. Linux or Solaris) and click on the "Continue" button . Save the downloaded file to your home directory.

The downloaded file is a compressed tar file, you can decompress it as follows:
gunzip jas-2.2.1-linux.tar.gz tar -xvf jas-2.2.1-linux.tar
To start Java Analysis Studio type jas-2.2.1/jas
Next you have to download the lcd.jar file that contains the lcd specific code. The easiest way to do this is to start JAS, and then select "Plugin Manager" from the "View" menu.

Press the "Install a Plugin" button.

Select lcd from the list and press the "Install selected plugins" button. The plugin will now be downloaded and installed on your system. Finally you must quit JAS and restart it to load the new plugin.
If all went according to plan you are ready to move on to the next tutorial. If not you will sadly have to proceed to the troubleshooting page.
