Installation for Linux
This is a java program, compiled with the Java SDK 1.4.1, so you will need to have either the JRE 1.4.1 or the SDK 1.4.1 installed. You can find them here. Also make sure that the location of the 'java' program is in your PATH. Verify this by typing 'java' on a shell prompt.

When this is installed, download the dragonchess-1.0b.tar.gz from the Download section. Unpack the file with 'tar zxf dragonchess-1.0b.tar.gz'. This creates a dragonchess subdirectory.

Start the game by executing the "DragonChess" shell script located in this directory.

Installation for Windows
This is a java program, compiled with the Java SDK 1.4.1, so you will need to have either the JRE 1.4.1 or the SDK 1.4.1 installed. You can find them here. Also make sure that the location of the 'java' program is in your PATH. Verify this by typing 'java' inside a MS-DOS prompt box.

When this is installed, download the dragonchess-1.0b.zip file from the Download section. Unzip this file to a directory of your choice (eg c:\Program Files\). This creates a subdirectory dragonchess in this directory.

Start the game by executing the "DragonChess.bat" file found in this directory.
