Java 1.4 or newer, available from http://java.com/.
The
unrar command, available from
http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm. This command must be within the
system search path (
$PATH or
%PATH%), otherwise Jomic will be unable to open CBR archives.
Optionally Java Advanced Imaging, available from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/current.html. The installer includes all files essential for JAI, but lacks platform dependent native libraries. This will reduce performance for some image related operations, most notably reading of TIFF images.
In case you need want the best performance, you need to download and install
JAI optimized for your platform. In case you do that after having installed the generic
JAI package included with Jomic, make sure to remove all
lib/jai_*.jar files from the Jomic installation directory. Otherwise,
Jomic will keep disabling the native libraries.
Optionally Java Advanced Imaging-Image I/O Tools, (again) available from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/current.html. You only need this if you want to view additional image formats such as JPEG 2000 or BMP.
Download
Jomic-Installer-x.y.z.jar, where x, y, and z indicate the version
number.
Start the installer from your desktop. If this does not work, you cannot use the Installer release. Use the Single-JAR release instead (see below).
Follow the instructions given by the installer. In particular, choose a directory to which all the Jomic related files will be copied during installation.
The installer should have copied a script in the specified installation directory.
Depending on your platform, the name is
jomic.sh or
jomic.bat. Just start the script without any parameters to get the
"Open comic" dialog, or use any of the options described on the
manpage.
If you regularly run Jomic from the command line, consider extending $PATH (or %PATH%), or creating an alias for it.
