Installation - Basic Installation

This section assumes you have the Veduta™ installation package. If not, please visit the Veduta homepage for a trial or purchase copy.

Running the installer

To install Veduta simply run the downloaded .jar file. You will require a suitable Java virtual machine to be able to run Veduta. These are free and available from Sun Microsystems here. You will require version 5.0 or above.

If you already have a Java virtual machine installed, please verify the version installed. e.g.

> java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

is suitable, whereas:

> java -version
java version "1.4.2_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)

is not (since it's version 1.4.2).

Veduta will install into the directory selected during installation.

On Windows, this will default to:

C:\Program Files\OOPS Consultancy\Veduta

On Unix/Linux and MacOSX this will default to:

$HOME/Veduta

The unpacked Veduta install looks like:

    bin
    examples
    resources
    instructions
    veduta-complete.jar

The instructions directory contains the complete set of documentation for Veduta.
The legal directory contains licences.
