Java can be easily installed manually. In the following we shall describe the specific steps of the installation procedure. Installing Java for Mac OS is not the same as for Windows. See details below.
If the latest version of Java has not yet been installed on a computer, the web-browser may offer to install Java, when browsing to the www.chartoasis.com/sesame website. In this case, follow the procedure below.
The following pages and the steps of manual installation provide instructions for the manual installation of the Java Application, using a web-browser application:
- Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Install-Java-in-Internet-Explorer
- Firefox: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/firefox_online_install.xml
- Google Chrome: http://java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml
Installing Java for Mac OS
Mac OS 10.6
Java 6 is available as a simple Software Update, so if your system is up to date, Java 6 is installed, else upgrade your system. Note that Java SE 6 won’t appear for users on 32-bit Intel machines (Intel Core and Intel Core Duo) even if their systems are fully up to date.
You may need to activate your Java install. To do so you can find further help at https://gephi.org/users/install-java-6-mac-os-x-leopard/
Updates of Mac OS may disable running Java Applets like Chartoasis Sesame.
In this case you may see “Inactive Plug-in” or similar label in you browser like below.
Click “Inactive Plug-in” and allow running Sesame.
Mac OS 10.7
The Java runtime is no longer installed automatically as part of the OS installation.
When you first time visit www.chartoasis.com/sesame you may be prompted by the browser to install Java. In this case follow the instructions of the browser.
