Then
double-click the “InstallWindows” or “InstallNonWindows.jar” file.
Your

During this installation, it will ask you if you want to put a
Life-365 start icon on your desktop; select “Ok” or “Yes”.
Once
done, there should be an icon on your desktop, and an item in your
Start/Programs listing of programs, that will allow you to start the
Life-365 program.
Life-365 runs on personal computers, including those
running Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux. It requires Java 1.5
(or higher), which comes pre-installed with current versions of Windows
and Mac OS X, or can be installed from the Java website (install JRE
1.5).
Starting Life365
To start
Life365, double-click the Life-365 icon, or in Windows select it from
the Start/Programs menu. The first time the program runs, it will ask
you to select either SI or US units. When done, you will see the screen
at the top of this page.

Users Manual
for detailed information about how to use Life-365.
