Installing
There is not much more to installing the actual GetRight for Java files than
uncompressing the file. (So if you're reading this, you're probably already done.)
- All operating systems.
- Uncompress the file, and restore the directory structure. (If you did
not restore the directories, just create an "images" directory and move all the
.GIF files into that directory.)
Running
- All operating systems.
- You will need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) to run Java programs.
For most operating systems you will need to download and install a Java Runtime Environment
to allow you to run Java programs.
This comes with the Java Development Kit, or may also be available to install separately.
GetRight for Java will need Java 1.1.1 or higher. (You can try with 1.0.2, but it's probably not going to work.)
Specific running instructions for different operating systems:
[Macintosh]
[OS/2]
[UNIX]
[Windows95/NT]
- Macintosh (MacOS)
- You've got it easiest. Just use the icons.
GetRight
|
will run the main Getright (Download Status) window where you may view/edit/start downloads.
|
Setup GetRight
|
will run the Setup window where you may setup a log file, proxy server information, and more.
|
- OS/2
- You may need to edit the scripts or files to get them to work on your computer:
- Put the path to the Java executable files if they are
not in your path.
- Change these from using the JRE program ("user" interpreter)
to use the JAVA program ("developer" interpreter) or something else.
- Make sure the CLASSPATH environment variable is correct.
- Maybe unzip the .JAR file (JAR files are just
renamed ZIP files) and change the CLASSPATH information in these two
scripts for them to work.
GETRIGHT.CMD
|
will run the main Getright (Download Status) window where you may view/edit/start downloads.
|
SETUP_GETRIGHT.CMD
|
will run the Setup window where you may setup a log file, proxy server information, and more.
|
GETRIGHT2.CMD
|
runs the same thing as GETRIGHT.CMD, but this script is written in REXX and may work
better for some people.
|
SETUP_GETRIGHT2.CMD
|
runs the same thing as SETUP_GETRIGHT.CMD, but this script is written in REXX and may work
better for some people.
|
- UNIX
- First, run the command to set these scripts as executable:
run chmod 755 *.sh
- You may need to edit the scripts or files to get them to work on your computer:
- Put the path to the Java executable files if they are
not in your path.
- Change these from using the JRE program ("user" interpreter)
to use the JAVA program ("developer" interpreter) or something else.
- Make sure the CLASSPATH environment variable is correct.
- Something possibly specific for LINUX: "I found that for some strange reason, every time I run GetRight,
the directory images was set unreadable, so none of the images were
loaded. The workaround was set this directory owned by root, so GetRight
couldn't modify its permissions." -Marcus Pazu Brito
getright.sh
|
will run the main Getright (Download Status) window where you may view/edit/start downloads.
|
setup_getright.sh
|
will run the Setup window where you may setup a log file, proxy server information, and more.
|
Alternate Scripts: |
getright2.sh and setup_getright2.sh
These use JAVA instead of JRE & have more path info embedded.
|
- Windows95/NT
- You may need to edit the scripts or files to get them to work on your computer:
- Put the path to the Java executable files if they are
not in your path.
- Change these from using the JRE program ("user" interpreter)
to use the JAVA program ("developer" interpreter) or something else.
- Make sure the CLASSPATH environment variable is correct.
GETRIGHT.BAT
|
will run the main Getright (Download Status) window where you may view/edit/start downloads.
|
SETUP_GETRIGHT.BAT
|
will run the Setup window where you may setup a log file, proxy server information, and more.
