==Prerequisites==
 
 
 
Before you can run the Data Collection Software, you have to install Java JRE (JavaRuntimeEnvironment) from Sun. Please take following steps:
 
 
 
*Go to  [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Java download page]. You may wish to open it in new window: right click on the link and choose "open link in new window".
 
*Locate the link to the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), which should look like "'''Download JRE 5.0 Update 2'''". Accept the license by clicking on "Accept" and then on "Continue".
 
*Choose the platform (system) that you use. If you use Windows, then the right one will look like: "'''Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language  (jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe, 15.25 MB)'''"
 
*Download the installation file to your computer
 
*Install the JRE on your computer by running the installation file
 
 
 
Note: you need about 75MB of the disk space to install the JRE.
 
 
 
==Licensing==
 
 
 
The Data Collection Software is Free Software and it's licensed under terms of the [http://www.eactscongenitaldb.org/pliki/doc/182_LICENSE.txt GNU General Public License (GNU GPL)]. By downloading and running it, you agree to use the Data Collection Software under the terms of GNU GPL.
 
 
 
==Versions==
 
 
 
The current line of software has major number of 7. It is a complete rewrite in Java^tm^ technology. The file naming convention will be: "DataCollectionSoftware-7.x.jar", where "x" stands for the minor versions. So, the consecutive versions of the software will have names of "DataCollectionSoftware-7.0.jar", "DataCollectionSoftware-7.1.jar", "DataCollectionSoftware-7.2.jar" and so on.
 
 
 
==Platforms==
 
 
 
Supported platforms are: Windows, Linux and Solaris.
 
 
 
There is a problem with running the Software under Mac OS. The [[Cloudscape]], local database engine is not supported on Mac OS X. It's probably possible to run the DataCollectionSoftware on [[Mac OS]], using the [[Network installation]].
