Quick Install

1. Make sure that your system meets the system requirements.
2. Download the latest version of NOMOS, selecting either a platform-specific installer or the platform-independent package.
   A platform-specific installer is often easier for getting started right away!
3. Install NOMOS:
   • Windows: Run the NOMOS setup program ("NOMOS_2_0_0_setup.exe"); the wizard will guide you through the installation process.
     • Note: Please uninstall any older versions of NOMOS before running the setup program.
   • Platform Independent: Unzip the compressed archive ("NOMOS_2_0_0.zip") to a directory of your choice.
4. If you are new to NOMOS, we recommend also downloading our sample video, used in the tutorials. Simply unzip the compressed archive to a directory of your choice.

System Requirements

NOMOS is developed entirely in Java and therefore should run any platform supporting Java. However, NOMOS requires:

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 or higher

• Download for Windows/Linux/Solaris or OS X.
• In addition, you must make sure that J2SE? 5.0 is the default version of Java on your system:
  • In Windows, go the Control Panel and double-click "Java" (if no "Java" icon appears, then you do not have Java properly installed). Choose the "Java" tab at the top and click on "View..." on "Java Application Runtime Settings." Make sure that a platform version 1.5 or higher is checked as "Enabled" and at the top of the list.
  • Note that older releases of J2SE? 5.0 from Apple do not make their installation the default version of Java on your system; you must set this option in the Java Preferences Utility which can be found in /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/
• To verify your Java installation: At the Windows command prompt, cygwin shell, or OS X Terminal, type java -version and make sure your build is at least version 1.5.0 or higher.

Java Media Framework 2.1.1e or higher

• Download for Windows/Linux/Solaris/OS X
• Note: OS X users should use the "cross-platform" version.
• Note: Installing JMF is not strictly necessary to use NOMOS. If you choose not to install JMF, you will be limited to a single audio file per discourse, there will be extremely limited or no video capabilities, and you will have not be able to use multiple synchronized media files.
