Installation Steps

The application requires Java installed to install and then run this application.  You will need Java 1.8 or higher but these have been found to work also: Java 13 (13.0.1 or 1.13) and Java 14 (14.0.2  or 1.14).

 

The application runs in a browser and has been used from Windows 10 (Chrome or Edge).   It also works on macOS with Chrome.

 

There is an icon for Crafted By Ken which will startup the application after it is installed on Windows if you check this during install.  You will see a command shell running minimized on your desktop after it starts.  Just leave it be so the application works correctly.

 

The application uses your default browser to startup the user interface.  When your done using you should use the shutdown link in the upper-right corner which will shutdown the application.  The command shell running minimized will go away after a few seconds.  The browser tab will either go to a blank page or it may close depending if this was the only open tab.  

 

Your welcome to try other options for Java and report in results after we setup the Blog area.  Java is going through a period of frequent updates so you may have something newer than these steps use.

 

Java information:

  • Java is provided by Oracle and they have many options and versions
  • There is also a standard edition (SE) and a development kit (JDK)
  • This is documented for JDK as a recommendation
  • Oracle changed licensing in 2019 so many use openjdk now in order to meet license requirements
  • These steps use openjdk

 

If your a 1st time user you will need 2 emails to use the application since you need to activate the application in order to use it.   It is easier to do this during the installation.  Your activation code will be for only one computer but if you infrequently need to change the computer we can clear something and allow you to activate on another computer instead.  Just send an email and give us a few business days.

1) Installation - This comes from shopify.com and will be a link to the file to download.  Continue to follow the installation steps including using the Activation Code from the 2nd email.
