Some general rules for using MethMarker

Prerequisites

MethMarker is Java-based and requires Java 1.5 or higher. If a suitable version of Java is installed, it runs on almost any operating system, including Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Solaris. To make sure that you have a recent version of Java installed, please check the following: Start a command line (Windows: type "cmd" or "command" in the "Start"->"Run" dialog) or a shell and enter "java -version" to find out your Java version. If it's 1.5 or above, everything is fine and you can directly continue. In all other cases, you have to install a recent version of Java�s runtime first. You can download it freely from http://www.javasoft.com. Usually, the number 1 in the "Popular Downloads" section is the one you need. Install it as described.
