FOray: Downloading the Application

Introduction

The current release of FOray (0.3) is not a mature product and may not be suitable for your needs. Please see the Release Notes for more information.

The FOray application can be downloaded from FOray's SourceForge site. Thank you SourceForge!

There are three possible downloads:

• "bin-all" contains all of the FOray class files in one jar file. This is the recommended download for most users.
• "bin-modules" contains all of the FOray class files, but they are placed in one jar file per module. This distribution is intended for those who wish to use only certain modules from FOray and do not want to use the more bulky "bin-all" jar file. Note also that FOray can be built as a subset
• "src" contains the entire contents of the trunk of the FOray source code repository.

After downloading the FOray "bin-all" distribution, you can check the basic usability of the download very easily:

1. Unzip the distribution.
2. Make sure your "JAVE_HOME" environment variable is set to a Java 5 or higher runtime.
3. Change directory to the "scripts" directory in the distribution and run either "foray-test.bat" (for Windows) or "foray-test.sh" (For Unix and Linux). If all goes well, you should see output on the screen showing the startup and successful completion of a FOray run, and a file "minimal.pdf" should be created in the current directory.
