# OVT Installation under Windows

To run OVT you need to:

1. Install Java (JDK 1.2.2)
2. Install VTK with Java support
3. Install OVT

## Java installation

Download JDK 1.2 (Java 2 SDK 1.2.2) and install it to `c:\jdk1.2.2`.

Notes: If you prefer using JDK 1.1 be sure to have SWING 1.1.1 installed. Swing 1.1 has some bugs preventing software from working correctly. We used only SUN's implementations of Java, but there should be no problem to use IBM's or other Java implementations.

## VTK installation

1. Download vtk312Core.exe (2216 kB) and vtk312Java.exe (824 kB)

2. Install them to `c:\vtk31`

Notes: For information about VTK visit VTK Homepage

## OVT Installation

1. Download OVT

2. Extract `ovt2g.zip` to `c:\`.

Notes: If you prefer another directory, you have to edit `ovt2g\bin\ovt.bat` and set `OVT_HOME` variable to you directory.

Done!

Now you can run OVT by executing `ovt2g\bin\ovt.bat`

Notes:

- Java is supposed to be installed under `c:\jdk1.2.2`. Otherwise edit `ovt2g\bin\ovt.bat` and adjust the `JAVA_HOME` variable.
- VTK is supposed to be installed under `c:\vtk31`. Otherwise edit `ovt2g\bin\ovt.bat` and adjust the `VTK_HOME` variable.
