Last change on this file since 18964 was 18886, checked in by taylor.smock, 14 months ago

Fix #18866: Remove Potlatch2 from the built-in styles. It has been replaced with wiki:Styles/Potlatch2.

Users who have the built-in Potlatch2 style enabled when they upgrade to this
revision or later will automatically have wiki:Styles/Potlatch2 added to their
style list and enabled.

7Installation notes
8------------------
9To run JOSM, you need:
10
11* The JOSM .jar file, e.g., josm-tested.jar or josm-latest.jar
12* Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8, or later.
13
14
15How to get Java Runtime Environment
16-----------------------------------
17You need JRE Version 8, or later.
18
19Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS users should visit one of:
20- https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk#download-openjdk
21- https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/#mn
22and download the latest Java executable for their system.
23
24Linux users should visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
25There is a Linux binary installer, which you must execute from a console, or
26use the mechanism of your distribution's packaging system.
27
28
29How to launch
30-------------
31Microsoft Windows users launch by double-clicking on the .jar file.
32If this does not work, open a command shell and type
33"java -jar josm-latest.jar" in the directory that holds the file. (Please
34replace josm-latest.jar with the name of your .jar file, if you aren't using
35the latest version.)
36
37Under Linux, open a shell, go to the file directory and type
38"java -jar josm-latest.jar" to launch. If this does not work, try to set
39your JAVA_HOME variable to the java executable location (the root location,
40not the bin).
41
42macOS users just click on the .jar file icon.
