Requirements

The following Java environment is required to compile and/or run JSky classes:

Note: JSky comes with the necessary JAI jar files, however for better image performance, JAI should be installed as a java extension. If it isn't, you will see the warning message "Could not load mediaLib accelerator wrapper classes. Continuing in pure Java mode.".

Installation

To unpack the JSky distribution, go to the directory where you want to install it and type:

jar xvf jsky-2.6.src.jar

After this, you can run the jskycat application as follows:

java -Xmx128m -jar install/jsky-2.6/lib/jsky.jar

There is also a jskycat.sh script for UNIX-like systems in the top level directory.

See the JSky home page for more information and a description of the command line options available.

Previous releases may also be found in the ./old dir.
