You can check for the presence and version of Java on your system with the command:
java -version
If you do not have Java SDK/JDK (Java Software Development Kit) or JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 2 or higher available on your system, you can download Java from Sun (http://java.sun.com/j2se/) for LINUX, Solaris and Windows. For other operating systems see Sun's Java(TM) Platform Ports page (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/ports.html).
Internet access is required for QuakeExplorer databases and SeedLink servers which reside on the Internet, and for QuakeExplorer databases which contain links to trace data on the Internet.
QuakeExplorer can be invoked from the command line, or with a script, batch or shortcut file.
