    Download DocumentBurster
    First step is to download the documentburster-{version}.zip software zip file [http://
    sourceforge.net/projects/documentburster/] and extract it to a folder like C:\DocumentBurster . This
    quick start document will demonstrate the use of the DocumentBurster software. For instructions on how
    to install and run DocumentBurster Server software please read the DocumentBurster User Guide manual.

    Prerequisites
    In order to use DocumentBurster , following two prerequisites should be in place.

    • Java - Java version >= 1.6 runtime needs to be installed on the computer where DocumentBurster is
    installed. DocumentBurster is used and tested mostly with the newer Java 1.6 so, it is advisable to run
    the software against Java 1.6; DocumentBurster might work fine with the older Java 1.5 and Document-
    Burster is not working on versions prior to 1.5 such as 1.4 and lower. These days most systems already
    have Java installed so you only need to run DocumentBurster and see it working.

    • GtkSharp - In order to use the DocumentBurster GUI interface, GtkSharp is required to be installed on
    your computer.

    Java
    These days most systems already have Java installed. If required, you can download & install Java from
    http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

    Check Java version


    In Windows go to Start – Run… then type the cmd command and follow the instructions you
    see in the next screen shots. In the command prompt, type java –version which will prompt the
    installed Java version. It should be greater or equal to version 1.6

    It is OK - Java 1.6 is installed.

    GtkSharp
    DocumentBurster has an intuitive and easy to use GUI interface. In order to use DocumentBurster GUI,
    GtkSharp needs to be installed on your computer.

    For Windows - Please install the gtk-sharp-{version}.win32.msi file with the default values
    presented during the installation. The installer can be found in the install-me folder from the location
    where the DocumentBurster zip file was extracted.

    When GtkSharp installation is complete you can run DocumentBurster GUI by double clicking
    DocumentBurster.exe executable.

    For Unix like systems - Some Linux distributions such as Ubuntu might already have GtkSharp pre-
    installed. If this is the case, just run DocumentBurster and see the GUI running. For other systems such
    as Mac OS X etc, you can download and install the software from here [http://www.go-mono.com/
    mono-downloads/download.html]

    When GtkSharp installation is complete you can run DocumentBurster GUI by executing Document-
    Burster-GUI.sh script file. You might need to give execute permissions for this script.
