DocFetcher @VERSION@ - General description ============================================= DocFetcher is an Open Source desktop search application: It allows you to quickly access documents on your computer by typing keywords. - You can think of it as Google for your local document repository. Required: Java Runtime Environment ============================================= A Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 1.6.0 or higher, is required. You can download Java for Windows from here: http://java.com. If you're on Linux, have a look at the official software repository of your distro. To find out what JRE version you have, open a command prompt and type in "java -version". For Linux users it is recommended to use the official Java Runtime from Sun instead of the other, partly incomplete implementations of Java, both for compatibility and performance reasons. Platform-specific notes ============================================= * The Windows version runs on Windows 98, XP and Vista. Other Windows operating systems may also work, but have not been tested and are not officially supported. * The Linux version only runs on GTK-based distros. This includes GNOME- and Xfce-based distros such as Ubuntu / Xubuntu and excludes all Qt/KDE-based distros. * The portable version runs on all operating systems supported by either the Windows version or the Linux version. How to start DocFetcher ============================================= * Windows: Doubleclick on DocFetcher.exe (recommended) or DocFetcher.bat * Linux: Doubleclick on DocFetcher.sh. You might have to set the executable flag first (open a terminal, cd to the DocFetcher folder, then enter "chmod +x DocFetcher.sh"). More information ============================================= For more information, have a look at the program manual in the "help" folder or visit the project homepage: http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net
