You need to install a Sun's Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1 (or later). You can download it from Sun's Java web site or contact your OS manufacturer.

The installer stops with the following message: No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable.
Cause: There is no (suitable) Java on your machine or the java command is missing from the PATH environment variable.
Solution: Install a Java Runtime Environment from Sun if it is not installed. Then put <JAVAHOME>/bin to the PATH where <JAVAHOME> is the home directory of Java. For more details about setting environment variable, please consult the manual of the current shell. Then restart the installer.
The installer is failed with any other error message.
Cause: Installation may fail if other distributor's Java is (also) installed (e.g. kaffe-1.0.6-6 or jdkgcj-0.2.3-5).
Solution: Please check if non-Sun distributed Java Runtime Environment is installed:
```
rpm -qa |grep kaffe
rpm -qa |grep jdkgcj
```
If one of them is installed, remove that package (administrator permissions are required). E.g.:
```
rpm -e jdkgcj
```
After this, install a Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1 (or later) if it is not installed yet. Then try to relaunch the installer.
If you have further problems with the installer use marvinbeans-3.5.7.zip.

After downloading go to the directory where you downloaded marvinbeans-3.5.7.zip then uncompress the zip file.
You can start applications by script or batch files, which you can find in the marvinbeans/bin directory.

Requires Java 1.3.1 (or later). You can download it from Sun's Java web site or contact your OS manufacturer.
You need an expander which can handle zip extension.
Batch files (bin/*.bat) have to be initialized before first use. Edit files to set the MARVINBEANSHOME variable to the full path of the directory where Marvin Beans is located.
