'''Software for installation:'''
<!-- * java: https://java.com/en/ -->
* '''Java''' runtime engine is needed for running some of the software we use in the course, including jEdit (see below). Download from here: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java17 (choose java 17, not 18 or 19, and select your type of computer) '''or''' from here: https://adoptium.net/ (choose Temurin JDK 17).
** '''NOTE:''' Do NOT download java from https://java.com/ — that will give you Oracle java 8, which is NOT good enough for jEdit anymore. jEdit version 5.6 and later needs java 11 or higher which is available from the above links (and from a few other places).
** '''IMPORTANT TIP''' for Windows users: You need to enable the sub-feature named "set JAVA_HOME variable" when installing Temurin JDK.
* jEdit: http://jedit.org/
** '''NOTE:''' The jEdit developers have not signed the installation package, therefore both Windows and MacOS X will complain when you first attempt to install it, and you have to insist that it is OK to run the program. For Macs, this is a bit complicated, see the instructions in [[ExJEdit#Download_and_Install_jEdit|the exercise guide]].
** '''IMPORTANT TIP''' for Mac users: If you have an M1 or M2 (ARM) Mac, you should use "Java-based installer" (.jar file) instead of "OS X package" (.dmg file).
