Requirements
StarView version 6 can run on any platform that supports JAVA version 1.2.2.
For optimal performance we recomend running it on at least systems that
are
-
Unix: Sun Ultra 1 or equivelant with at least 128 Megs of memory
-
Windows: 300 MHz processor running any form of windows (95, 98, NT, 2000,
ME?) with at least 64 Megs of memory
-
Mac: (untested) 200 MHz PPC running Mac OSX (earlier mac versions of java
are not 1.2.2 complient).
All other OS's are untested and unsupprted.
Whats a JVM and how can I tell if I have the right one
A JVM is a java virtual machine. It is the program that actually
runs all the java code. If one is installed, you should be able to
type "java -version" on a command line to find out the version number.
This should be at least 1.2.2 for StarView to function correctly
Note to STScI users: to get the correct java virtual machine, you need
to make sure the line
Package: JDK12
appears in your ~/.envrc file and does not have a "#" character before
it. If you do not have this line, add it into the other Packages.
If it is commented out with the "#" character, remove the character.
You will have to logout and log back in completely (exiting the xterm will
not work) for this to take effect.
