Installation Instructions

Part One: Download and Run Processing

1. Download Processing and unzip it.
   • Windows: Right click on the downloaded .zip file and press "Extract All" in the menu that opens.
   • Mac: Double click on the downloaded .zip file.
   • Linux: Use the gunzip command with the compressed folder as the target.
2. Navigate through the directories in the unzipped folder until you see the Processing executable.
   • Windows: processing.exe
   • Mac: Processing.app or just Processing if .app extensions are hidden
   • Linux: Run install.sh only once (not every run of Processing) and then run processing.
3. Run the Processing executable inside the unzipped folder at least once and close it.

Part Two: Install Helpful Java Mode

1. Click on HelpfulJavaMode.zip below this message. Your browser should show that the .zip file was downloaded.
2. Find where HelpfulJavaMode.zip is on your system. It should be in your typical downloads folder.
3. Move HelpfulJavaMode.zip to the Documents/Processing directory inside your user or home folder.
4. Inside Documents/Processing, there should be a folder called modes (lowercase and plural). If not, create one.
