Features

Requirements

  • Period04 is a Java/C++ hybrid program. Therefore, to run the program a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed. Users have two options:

    • - Download the Period04 package which includes the most recent Java Runtime Environment. No separate Java installation is required.

    • - Use a JRE that is available on your system. To do so open a shell or a command prompt and type 'java -version'. If the command is not found Java is not properly installed. In this case you have to download it from www.java.com/en/download/ (it's free).


Downloads

  • The installers will guide you through the installation process. When you start Period04 for the first time, a dialog will appear reporting that the Period04 preferences file has been created. Click on 'Ok'.
    If you have any problems please have a look at the FAQ section or write an email to Patrick Lenz.
