<h1>Getting Logisim</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Logisim is free software, released under the terms of the
|
|
<a href="../gpl.html">GNU General Public License, version 2</a>.
|
|
It should run on any platform supporting Java,
|
|
version 5 or later.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>Logisim requires Java 5 or later. If you do not already
|
|
have it on your computer, Java is available from <tt><a
|
|
href="http://java.sun.com">java.sun.com</a></tt>.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>Download Logisim from <a
|
|
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/">Logisim's SourceForge.net
|
|
page</a>. You have three choices of which release to download.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A <tt>.jar</tt> file - this should run on any platform, though
|
|
not necessarily conveniently.
|
|
<li>A <tt>.tar.gz</tt> file for MacOS X
|
|
<li>A <tt>.exe</tt> file for Windows
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If you use MacOS X or Windows, the
|
|
release specific to your platform will work best.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>To execute the program:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><em>With the generic <tt>.jar</tt> file:</em>
|
|
On many platforms, you can start the JAR file by double-clicking
|
|
its icon. If that doesn't work, find your platform's command line and enter:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><tt>java -jar logisim-generic-<em>XX</em>.jar</tt></blockquote></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><em>With the MacOS X version:</em> First uncompressed the downloaded
|
|
<tt>.tar.gz</tt> file: This might happen
|
|
automatically, or you might have to double-click it.
|
|
Then just double-click the Logisim icon to start. You may
|
|
want to move the icon into the Applications folder.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p><em>With the Windows version:</em> Logisim does not have an install process;
|
|
the executable file is truly the file that you want to execute.
|
|
Just double-click the Logisim icon. You may want to create a shortcut on the
|
|
desktop and/or in the Start menu to make starting Logisim easier.</p></li>
|
|
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>The standard release of Logisim includes an English translation
|
|
(written by TRANSLATOR NAME of TRANSLATOR INSTITUTION).
|
|
To use the English translation:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
<li>After starting Logisim, go to the File menu and select Preferences...
|
|
(On a Macintosh, this will be in the Logisim menu.)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>At the top of the Preferences window, select the International tab.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>From the dropdown menu labeled Language, select English language.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ol></li>
