• Caution: many distributions provide GCJ JRE by default: this will not work with Jajuk
• Caution: while IcedTea--a completely free implementation of Java--works fine with Jajuk, you may experience errors installing Jajuk using Iced Tea. Use the Sun JRE to install.

2. Read carefully the provided README file
3. Read and accept GPL license.

5. Create shortcuts (if your OS is support it)

Run Jajuk

• Use the new menu desktop shortcut if created
• Or simply go in the directory you have installed Jajuk and type ./jajuk.sh in a console

Upgrade

• It is safe to install the new release over previous one without uninstalling, Jajuk supports backwards compatibility. Your collection and configuration is kept and is stored under {your home directory}/.jajuk
• Jajuk doesn't support downwards compatibility: A Jajuk release may not work with a collection built by a newer release than the one you use.
