Installation Requirements

  • Support for Java Runtime Environment of 1.8 or higher

Explanation

The only specific restriction for installing screen-scraper is that your operating system platform supports a Java Runtime Environment of 1.8 or higher. Testing has been done for screen-scraper on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other platforms that support a Java Runtime Environment of 1.8 or higher. All systems have managed to run the software without any major changes.

The Windows installer comes with a runtime environment included. Mac OS X and Linux should already have a Java Runtime Environment installed. For help installing screen-scraper on other platforms (e.g., Solaris, FreeBSD) please contact us.
