Running BiNA
- Ensure that Suns JRE 6.0 (Java 6.0) is installed correctly. (You can download it from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.)
- Extract the downloaded BiNA version.. (A directoy called BiNA_xxx will be created)
- Enter the new directory.
- Microsoft Windows users:
- Start BiNA by double-clicking at the BiNA.bat file.
- If BiNA doesn't start, make sure that the JRE 6.0 is the default java distribution or edit the BiNA.bat file using Notepad. (Open the directory in your Windows Explorer and right-click on the BiNA.bat file. Open it in a text-editor like Notepad and adjust your Java path.)
- Unix users:
- Start BiNA using "./bina.sh"
- Have a look at the bina.sh file, how you can alter your available memory.
- Macintosh users:
- I am sorry to tell you, that there exists no JRE 6.0 for PowerMacs. If you have an Mac with an Intel processor you have two possibilities:
- Register for a developer account at http://developer.apple.com/ and download a preversion or
- Use the FreeBSD Java 6.0 Port from http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/static/soylatte/ .
Installation of additional plugins
- If you never started BiNA before, run BiNA once to create local directory stuctures in your home.
- Copy the plugin zip-file into HOME/.bina/.plugins
- Extract theĀ zip-file. (A directory like "org.bina.xyz..." will be created).
- Run BiNA again to check if the plugin was found and installed without warnings or exceptions. (Displayed in the shell.)
- On errors check if all plugin-dependencies are satisfied. (Normally found in the documentation.)
