1. Download and install a Java virtual machine that supports Java 1.4 or later. To find an appropriate virtual machine, consult the operating system vendor.
   2. Download Art of Illusion and expand the archive using the unzip command or a similar program.
   3. (optional) Download and install JOGL. (This step is not required, and Art of Illusion will work normally without JOGL, but OpenGL rendering will be disabled.)
   4. (optional) Download and install the Java Media Framework. (This step is not required, and most of Art of Illusion will work normally without JMF. You will not be able to save animations in Quicktime format, however, if it is not installed.)
   5. To launch the program from a command line, go to the ArtOfIllusion directory and execute the following command:

      java -Xmx512m -jar ArtOfIllusion.jar
      This command may vary slightly depending on the operating system, and how Java is installed. For example, you may need to give a full path to the "java" executable.
