» JFortune requirements

• A JAVA supported Operating System - Linux,Windows, Mac OS etc.
• The java runtime enviornment(JRE) to run the application and the java software development kit(SDK) to compile the project. You can get both at the java homepage.
• A command line enviornment(like bash on UNIX based machines or DOS on windows machines).

That is pretty much all you need right now to run jfortune. These might increase in the future as and when new features are added. I will post whatever is needed on this page.

If you want to use jfortuneui(the graphical interfact to jfortune) you will need a *UNIX operating system since java-gnome only runs with gtk on UNIX(some people say that it does work on Mac OS and Windows too...check it out if you are really interested). Other requirements are:

• The java runtime environment(JRE) to run the application and the java software development kit(SDK) to compile the project. You can get both at the java homepage.
• A command line enviornment(like bash on UNIX based machines).
• The java-gnome package.
• You will also need gnome, libglade, Gtk+ etc. Most of these packages come with a recent Gnome installation. To see a complete list of all required packages, checkout the java-gnome site and fulfill all the requirements for the release you download.
