Installation Instructions for Windows Users

1. Install the JDK:
   1. Go to the download page on the Sun Microsystems website.
   2. Click the Download button for JDK 6 Update 18. It will take you to another page.
   3. Choose Windows from the drop-down menu and click the Download button. If asked to log in, you can simply choose the link at the bottom of the log-in window that says Skip this Step.
   4. If prompted to do so, choose to save the file.
   5. Doubleclick on the icon for the downloaded file. This will start up an installer program.
   6. You should be able to use all of the default settings that the installer gives you by just clicking on the Next button.
   7. Once the installation is complete, click the Finish button.

2. Install DrJava:
   1. After the JDK has been installed, go to the DrJava website.
   2. Click on the button labeled "Download Windows App" and choose to save the file. This should download the program to your Desktop.
   3. The program comes ready to use, so there's nothing else to do in order to install it. If you wish, you can rename the file "DrJava" to make the name more readable.
   4. Double-click on the DrJava icon to start the program.
   5. Once it starts up, look in the lower right-hand corner of the DrJava window. Under the Compiler heading, you should see some version of the JDK listed. If you see "None", you may need to search for a file named tools.jar on your computer and specify its location manually by using the Edit->Preferences menu in DrJava. See the following page for more information: http://drjava.org/faq.shtml#no-compiler
   6. Select the Preferences option from the Edit menu in DrJava and do the following:
      • Click on Display Options in the Categories pane and click on the checkbox for "Show All Line Numbers".
      • Click on Miscellaneous option in the Categories pane and change the Indent Level setting to 4.
      • Click Apply, then click OK.
