VirtualScope Installation Guide
-------------------------------

Installation package for all operating systems supporting Java.


1. Installation
---------------

Unzip the contents of the Zip file into a directory of your choice. Use the icon file to create a launcher for VirtualScope.jar. Read '3. Execution' for more information.


2. Dependencies
---------------

VirtualScope requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to be executed. Issue the following command in a console to verify the availability of a JRE on your system:

java -version

If you do not get the version information of the installed JRE, you need to install one on your system. Point your browser to https://adoptopenjdk.net/ and download the latest OpenJDK LTS release for your system. Follow the instructions during installation and make sure to install the JAVA_HOME variable and the JavaSoft (Oracle) registry keys. 


3. Execution
------------

Start VirtualScope either by double clicking onto VirtualScope.jar or by issueing the command:

java -jar VirtualScope.jar
