Pollo: downloading and installing

1. Make sure you have a recent Java version installed, 1.3.1 or (preferably) 1.4.
   
2. Download the most recent Pollo release from here. You only need to download the file ending on -bin.zip. The other file contains Pollo's source code.
3. Extract the zip file.
4. Go to the bin subdirectory in the pollo directory
5. Depending on the platform, execute either pollo.bat or pollo.sh

• The pollo.bat and pollo.sh files assume that the right version of the java executable is available in your PATH. Try java -version if unsure.
• On some older Windows system, you may get an error like 'Out of environment space'. This is because the pollo.bat sets a quite large environment variable (Java's classpath). To solve this, enlarge the environment space (consult your documentation or the internet if you don't know how).
• If you don't have an unzip utility, but you have the Java JDK installed, you can use the jar utility to unzip the file: jar xvf pollo-[version]-bin.zip
  
• If you can't get Pollo running, send a message to pollo-development@lists.sourceforge.net describing your problem.
