• Windows Installer
Windows users who already have a suitable Java Runtime Environment
installed on their system and who have enough rights to install software
should be able to use this version. The download is about 1 megabyte in size.
If you are unable to download files ending in .exe, try to copy the link location
and paste it in the URL field of a new browser window, then change the .exe
to .txt.

• Windows Full Installer
This version comes bundled with a JRE of its own so there are no
prerequisites. Every Windows user should be able to use this one, provided
that you may install software on your PC. The download is rather fat, about 28
megabytes. Again, this is an .exe file, try changing the ending to .txt if this is a
problem. A benefit of this version is that it’s compiled to native code and will
probably consume less resources.

Both Windows installer versions are installed by running the .exe file. Just follow the
instructions in the installer and you should be done in a minute. Once the client
software is installed, proceed to chapter 2.3 on page 11.

If you are not running Windows or if you cannot install software on your PC, your best
choice is the Java archive version. Download the ZIP file and extract the contents
into a folder to which you may write. This could also be a memory stick, or a
CDROM, by the way. Then run the Java interpreter with the “freedom.jar” file. With
Windows it’s usually enough if you double-click on the JAR file, but you may want to
open a “cmd” window instead, “cd” to the directory and run “javaw –jar freedom.jar”
instead. On Unix boxes you’d normally use “java –jar freedom.jar” or “kaffe –jar
freedom.jar” or something similar; Unix users normally know.

We also offer a Mac OSX installer version but we do not create these installers
ourselves, so it might be less current than the others. You should be able to use the
Java archive version on your Mac without problems – OSX is built on Unix and ships
with a pre-installed JRE.

Generally, the Java archive version of the Your Freedom client should run on every
computer that has a suitable JRE – and enough memory. We love to hear from you if
you’ve managed to run it on an exotic piece of hardware (or in an unusual place)!

2.3 Connecting for the first time
When you start the Your Freedom client application for the first time, you’ll be
presented with a “wizard”. It’s safe not to use it and enter all required information
manually, but if you are unsure, give it a try first. Manual configuration may be
required in difficult connection scenarios; please refer to chapter 2.5 on page 26 for
details.

Now let’s assume that you are using the wizard. It will first present a Welcome page:

Every Java Runtime Environment compliant to Java 1.4 or newer should be good enough. If in doubt,

, click on “Java SE” in the “Popular Downloads” section on the right hand side
of the screen, then download the “JRE” or a “JDK” (which contains the “JRE”) and install it on your PC.
Sun provides these downloads for free, but please have a look at their license terms.
We used to recommend JRE 1.4.2 but have found that the latest JRE 1.5 releases are finally stable
enough as well.
