Sisällysluettelo |
Prerequisite
IMPORTANT To install and run Ancestris, you need Java from Sun Microsystem (now Oracle).
Java 1.6.x is a minimum requirement for Ancestris 0.7, and for Ancestris 0.8 beta, you need to run at least java 1.7.0.10. You have to know that Ancestris 0.7 can't run with Java 1.8.x. So to summarize:
- Ancestris < or = to 0.7 requires Java 1.6.x to Java 1.7.x
- Ancestris > or = to 0.8 requires Java > or = to 1.7.0.10
(So if you run java 1.8.x you can't run Ancestris 0.7 but Ancestris 0.8 and above will work just fine).
To check which version you have on your system, you can visit the Verify Java Version web page.
User's manual
We are writting a user guide for Ancestris v. 0.7. It is not finished, but as people requested us to make it available, you can download it. Of course, this guide is updated from time to time. So even if you downloaded it already, it's always a good idea to get the latest version. Ancestris v. 0.7 user's manual (pdf file).
An old guide written for Ancestris v. 0.5 is still available. Ancestris v. 0.5 user's manual.

How-To
We have tried to gather different questions/answers related to Ancestris.
