Getting Started

Thingamablog requires Java 1.4 or higher to run. Java can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.java.com

To check if you’re running a compatible version of Java, open a command prompt/shell and enter "java –version ". You should see something like…

java version "1.4"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4-b02, mixed mode)


This assumes, of course, that Java is on your PATH. If it’s not, you’ll have to supply the path to the Java executable in the above command.

Java is cross-platform so Thingamablog will run on any platform on which Java can run.
