FESI installation notes

Free EcmaScript Interpreter.
A JavaScript interpreter written in Java.

Installation instructions

Prerequisite

FESI has been compiled with Java 1.4.2. It is likely to work on previous versions, but this has not yet been tested.

As FESI uses the Java regular expression package by default, you do not neet add the regular expression library to the classpath (unless you need them for compatibility reason).

Download and install the kit

Available here as a jar file, created with IzPack. Download it in some temporary area and execute by double cliking on it or by using the command:

java -jar install-fesi-1.1.8.jar

This assumes that the java environment is installed correctly. The install program will guide you for the remaining of the installation. You will be able to choose the target directory. Source code and examples are included in the package and will be installed in sub-directories of the target directory if so desired.
The FESI library (fesi.jar) is installed in the subdirectory lib of the target directory. It must be included in the class path of the applications using FESI.

Uninstall

The installed creates a file in the uninstaller directory, you can run it to remove FESI. .
