NotamView

The full program is supplied in one or both of:
1. An installation file which, when run under Windows will install the program into a directory under Program Files and create menu entries and a desktop icon.
2. A zip file that can be expanded in a directory of your choice. This will work under Windows or any other operating system.

Bugfix updates are intended to overwrite part of an existing installation of the same main version mumber. (e.g 0.6.1 fixes 0.6)
For Windows, they may be supplied as an installer program.
For other operating systems updates are supplied as one or more files which should be placed in the existing notamview directory overwriting any files with the same name that already exist. (By default this directory is c:\program files\notamview on windows)

If you don't already have a copy, you will require a working version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). NotamView was developed under Java 1.4.1 so the current JRE will probably work fine. The current version of the 1.4 JRE (1.4.2_09) can be obtained from here. or, if you are using a Mac, here. Java 1.5 has not been tested with NotamView but should work OK
Please note this is BIG - 15MB or so.

Windows Installer

Installation is straightforward. Simply run the executable file and the program will install in the recommended directories. A desktop icon and program menu entries will be created.

To run the program, simply double click on the icon or select NotamView from the program menu.

Zip file under Windows, Macs, Linux etc

For versions 0.6 onwards simply unzip the zip file in a suitable directory. A directory called notamview will be created and all the NotamView files placed in it. Open a command prompt and cd to this directory. For Windows users, run the program by executing the notamview.bat file. For Linux/bash users, execute the notamview.sh file after ensuring it has execute permissions. Everyone else, type java -jar notamview.jar on the command line.

For versions before 0.6, you need to first create a notamview directory in your home directory then extract the zip into it. The same files as above will be created. To run, cd to the notamview directory and type java -jar notamview.jar

This may be made available in the future.
