Install and Run Mars24

Depending on your operating system and how you have it set up, installing Mars24 may be as simple as double-clicking the Mars24J archive icon on your desktop. If not, then you may have to use the appropriate command-line call from the shell.

The Mars24 archive contains a folder called Mars24J which holds the following items:

• Java application in a jar file called "Mars24.jar".
• Equirectangular map file "marsmap.jpg".
• Martian landmarks file "marslandmarks.xml".
• Sample settings files with filename extension ".m24".
• A README file.
• A subdirectory called "help" which includes user documentation.

Depending on your operating system set-up, you should be able to launch Mars24 by simply double-clicking on the Mars24.jar file. But if that desn't work, then you would need to launch from a shell command line by typing:

java -jar Mars24.jar
