Installing MatrixPro

This section describes how to download and run MatrixPro. Advanced material on building and installing the software can be found in Appendix C.

MatrixPro requires Version 1.4 of the Java SDK or JRE be installed.

Download the file matrixpro-full.jar from the MatrixPro website. On many platforms you can create an icon for this file and then run the program simply by double-clicking on the icon. Alternatively, you can start the tool by typing the following at a command prompt:

java -jar matrixpro-full.jar

For this to work, the Java JRE or SDK must be in the search path.
