<!-- for jEdit: :mode=php:indentSize=2:tabSize=2:noTabs=true: -->

<p>To find out which Java virtual machine is best for running jEdit on OS/2,
see the <a href="index.php?page=compatibility">compatibility</a> page.</p>

<p>To install jEdit, open a command prompt and
enter the following commands:</p>

<pre>cd <i>directory where you downloaded the JAR file</i>
java -jar <i>filename</i>.jar</pre>

<p>For example, if you downloaded <code>jedit40install.jar</code>
into <code>C:\Downloads</code>,
you would enter:</p>

<pre>cd C:\Downloads
java -jar jedit40install.jar</pre>

<p>If for whatever reason
you want to start the installer in text-only mode, specify
<code>text</code> as the last parameter on the command line. In text only mode,
the installer will not display it's GUI, and instead it will ask
questions from the command prompt.</p>

<p>To start jEdit, run the <code>jedit.cmd</code> script, which will be
installed in the same directory as jEdit.</p>
