Before installing Artemis you will need to make sure you have Java installed. UNIX users should get Java version 1.1.7 or better from this web site. Windows users should get Java version 1.2 from this web site. Instructions for installing Java are on those web pages.
Change directory to the directory you wish to install Artemis in. We will use ~/ in this example and in the next chapter.
uncompress and untar the artemis_compiled.tar.gz file. On UNIX the command is:
cd; gzip -d < artemis_compiled.tar.gz | tar xf -
For instructions on how to run Artemis on UNIX once it is unpacked see the section called Running Artemis on UNIX Systems in Chapter 2 .
On Windows systems with Java 1.2, installing Artemis is as simple as copying the artemis.jar file to an appropriate place (such as the desktop or the Programs folder).
