Supported Platforms

> - Colt should happily run on any Unix and any Windows with java-1.2.x or higher. Currently, we know it runs at least on Linux, Solaris, MacOSX and Windows 2000 or higher.

Download and Decompress Files

> - Download `colt-{version}.(tar.gz, zip)` from here. Releases can be installed via a tar.gz file (Unix) or zip file (Windows).

> > Warning
> > - Because of a bug in Solaris tar, Solaris users should use gnu tar to unpack archives.
> > - Due too an obscure bug, Winzip and possibly other Windows decompression tools may miss empty directories. Consequently, use the .zip download file on Windows, and DO NOT decompress tar[.gz] files on Windows.

> - Decompress the file into any convenient directory (the software is relocatable)

> > In the examples below we assume as installation directory

> >     /opt/colt                         (Unix)
> >     c:\colt                           (Windows)

> > If you choose to install into an alternative location (e.g. `/usr/local, $HOME, d:\apps`) then substitute the paths used in examples on this website accordingly.

> >     cd /opt
> >     tar -zxvf colt-{version}.tar.gz   (Unix)
> >     Winzip colt-{version}.zip         (Windows)

> > This will create the directory tree `/opt/colt/` (Unix) or `c:\colt` (Windows).

> - Add colt.jar and concurrent.jar to your CLASSPATH

> >     export CLASSPATH=/opt/colt/lib/colt.jar:/opt/colt/lib/concurrent.jar:$CLASSPATH  (on Unix bash style)
> >     set CLASSPATH=c:\colt\lib\colt.jar;c:\colt\lib\concurrent.jar;%CLASSPATH%        (on Windows)

Deinstallation

> - If you ever want to uninstall the software, type

> >     rm -fr /opt/colt                  (Unix)
> >     rmdir c:\colt /s/q                (Windows)
