3. Installing Processing
Download processing. Please make sure you are downloading the latest stable release. There are two versions, one with Java, one without. If you are not sure, download the one with Java.
- For those who knows what the JDK is and wants to install Processing along with JDK: You need x32 version of the JDK no matter whether you are running an x32 or x64 system.
If you don't understand what the above comment is about, download the one with Java.
- Create a directory "Programs" on the C: disk, in the root. If "C:\Programs" exists already, skip this step.
- Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Processing, remove the entire processing directory first.
- Create a shortcut on your desktop to "Processing.exe" for easy access.
4. If you have questions
- We will be happy to answer your questions, but please try not to email your questions to teachers. Instead, bring your questions to the help sessions.
- Please try to solve the problems by yourself -- this is important part of learning experience.
- If you could not solve the problems after trying hard for at least half a day, seek for help from your fellows.
- Again, Please try not to email your questions to teachers.
