These instructions install a full system (base plus all addons) in the default location, for Windows or Mac.

Windows

1. Download and run one of the All-in-One Installers:

The default installation folder is under the User's home directory. Admin privilege is not required to install here, for example:

  C:\Users\elmo\j64-805         J 64-bit
  C:\Users\elmo\j805            J 32-bit

For a shared installation, you may install in a protected folder path such as C:\Program Files\j64-805. This requires admin privilege, and will also require admin privilege for updates.

2. Double-click the green J icon on the desktop (titled JQt or JQt64) to start Jqt.

3. Follow the steps to install addons.

Mac

These instructions apply to Mac 10.7 or later.

1. Download the All-in-One Installer:

2. Double-click the dmg file and move the j64-805 folder to the desired directory. This is usually /Applications, but may also be anywhere under your home directory.

3. For OSX Sierra only: in Finder, navigate to the j64-805 folder (e.g. to /Applications/j64-805), and run the sierra-fix.command script by right-click then open.

4. Double-click the green J icon to start Jqt.

(optional) Change Default Folder Names

J needs directories to store temporary files, configuration files and so on. By default these are in a folder under the User's home directory, named like:

  C:\Users\elmo\j64-805-user         J 64-bit
  C:\Users\elmo\j805-user            J 32-bit

To change the folders J uses, follow the instructions here.

(optional) Qt IDE Setup

See Qt IDE/Install for more information on setting up the Qt IDE.
