Datasoul is written in Java and can run on Windows, Linux or Mac. Please find below the installation instructions for your system:
Windows
- Datasoul requires Java 6 or later. You can download the latest version from http://www.java.com/
- For video support Datasoul requires GStreamer, available here. Download and install it to get video playback.
- Download the Datasoul installer and run the installation.
Linux
- You need Java 6 and GStreamer. You probably already have this if you are using an updated linux distribution.
- Just get the package for Ubuntu/Debian or RPM and install it.
Mac
- You need Java 6. You can get it using Software Update on MacOS 10.5 or later.
- Download the application and unzip it unto the Application folder.
- Currently, there is no installation package for GStramer on MacOS. Probably you can compile it yourself using macports, darwinports or fink, but we never did so.
- Without GStreamer you can still use all features that does not require video playback.
