System requirements
Phenote runs on most modern platforms, but requires Java 1.5 (aka Java 5) or later. An appropriate Java is pre-installed with Mac OS X 10.4 or newer (Phenote cannot run on Mac OS X 10.3). For Windows, you can download the latest Java from http://www.java.com/. If you're running Linux, please consult your system documentation for how to get Java.
Installation
Phenote can be downloaded from the OBO Sourceforge project site. There are separate downloads available for Mac and Windows, as well as a download of the application source code. Download the appropriate zip file for your platform.
- Mac: Double-click the downloaded file to unzip it. You should see the application, "Phenote.app". Drag it anywhere you like to install. Double-click the application to launch Phenote.
- Windows: Double-click the downloaded file. Click on "Extract all files" in the resulting window. Use the Extraction Wizard to put the Phenote folder wherever you want. Launch Phenote by double-clicking "Phenote.bat" inside the Phenote folder. It will take several seconds for the Phenote window to appear. Do not attempt to run Phenote from "inside" the zip file - it will not work properly without first extracting the files to another folder.
- Linux/Unix: forthcoming
Using the docking interface
Phenote's interface consists of "docking" components which can be dragged into any layout the user prefers. A default layout for Phenoscape can be accessed via the menu item View > Layouts > Phenoscape.
