 Windows
- Install the latest version of Java
You must be running at least Java SE 6 (e.g., Java Runtime Environment [JRE] 6). Visit the Java web site to get the necessary files and instructions.
- Update
your graphics driver (optional)
Go to the Display Control Panel to determine
your current graphics configuration. Visit the graphics hardware manufacturer's
support web site to download the latest driver. Upgrading your graphics driver
will give you the best performance and possibly eliminate rendering problems.
- Download the nanoXplorer IDE installation file (above) for Windows
- Uncompress the installation file
Select a folder where you would like nanoXplorer IDE to be installed. Be sure to extract using folder names and to overwrite any existing files (if this is not your first installation). You must use an extraction program that is capable of handling .zip files (such as WinZip).
- Run the application
In the nanoXplorerIDE folder you just installed there is an executable by the same name that will launch the application. You can create a shortcut to this executable if you like to be able to launch from your desktop (for example).
Linux
- Install the latest version of Java
You must be running at least Java SE 6 (e.g., Java Runtime Environment [JRE] 6). Visit the Java web site to get the necessary files and instructions.
- Update
your X Window System, if necessary
XFree86
4.2 or later is required.
- Update
your graphics library or driver
Either
the Mesa library or NVidia driver 1.0.4499+ is required. The Mesa library can
be obtained from the Mesa 3D
Graphics Library web page. The NVidia driver can be obtained from the NVidia
web site.

Solaris
- Install the latest version of Java
You must be running at least Java SE 6 (e.g., Java Runtime Environment [JRE] 6). Visit the Java web site to get the necessary files and instructions.
- Update
OpenGL®
Download
and install the lastest version of the Sun Open GL API for Solaris Operating
System, SPARC Platform Edition. Upgrading your graphics library will give you
the best performance and possibly eliminate rendering problems. You should also
install any required
patches for the newly installed version of OpenGL. Note that if your graphics
hardware is not supported by OpenGL, you will not be able to run nanoXplorer.
- XToolkit
The SWT_AWT bridge, used for graphics in nanoXplorer IDE, requires that AWT be using XToolkit, since this implements the XEmbed protocol. However by default AWT on Solaris uses MToolkit. This can be easily changed as described in XToolkit on Solaris/Linux.
- Download the nanoXplorer IDE installation file (above) for Solaris
- Uncompress the installation file
Select a folder where you would like nanoXplorer IDE to be installed. Be sure to extract using folder names and to overwrite any existing files (if this is not your first installation). You must use an extraction program that is capable of handling .zip files (such as WinZip).
