Chuckle... There Is No Step Three (TM)! :)

(Inspired by Instiki's three-step installation)

Notes on Linux

In the BIN folder there is a startup script for Linux/Unix: oj-linux.sh
to run OpenJUMP first make the startup script executable. For instance, if you want to use oj-linux.sh file, open the console and write:
```
chmod +x oj-linux.sh
```

Some Linux Distro like Ubuntu and Debian allows to make script executable by "property" window.

(+x parameter makes openjump script executable)

Notes on MacOSX

see Installing on Mac OSX

Notes on Windows

In the Jump Pilot Project it is possible to download two versions of OpenJUMP for windows:

OpenJUMP Win32 installer for Windows

Download the OpenJUMP Win32 installer (EXE file). This is a setup file which automatizes the installation
Run the file to setup OpenJUMP. The software will be installed in the computer and a new icon "OpenJUMP" will be created in the desktop to launch the program

OpenJUMP (ZIP file)

Download the ZIP file and decompress it in a folder (e.g. OPENJUMP)
In the folder OPENJUMP/BIN search for the files OpenJUMP.exe or oj_windows.bat which are used to launch the software
eventually create a shortcut on the desktop for the launcher

The Nightly Build

OpenJUMP Nightly Build is basically the latest developer version of OpenJUMP all platfoirm release (ZIP file). See also #Three-step installation step.
