Marvin Applets
- Download the Marvin Applets package according to your platform from the Marvin download page.
(.tar.gz
is recommended for Unix-like platforms,.zip
for others). - You need a web server on the machine where you would like to install the Marvin Applets package (because applets work properly only through HTTP protocol). If there is no web server on the target machine, we suggest to use Tomcat.
- Extract
marvin-all-VERSION.tar.gz
(in Unix or in Mac OS X) ormarvin-all-VERSION.zip
(in MS Windows) in the parent directory of "marvin", whereVERSION
is the current version number. - Modify the settings of the web server if the directory of Marvin is not accessible from the web server root. Then restart it (if it is necessary) to validate new settings. (Consult with the manual of the web server how to do it.)
- Open the
index.html
file in a browser.
Removing any binary (jar or zip) or configuration (properties or xml) file from the applet package can cause unexcepted error or limitation in the usage.

version.properties
file located in the Marvin Beans installation directory. - Download the additional package for exactly the same version: marvinbeans-lib-VERSION-signed.zip.
- Create a backup of the lib sub-directory of your Marvin Beans package.
- Extract the marvinbeans-lib-VERSION-signed.zip archive file into the Marvin Beans directory. Your extractor tool (e.g. unzip or WinZip) may ask confirmation to update all files by unwrapping. In this case let it overwrite all. This operation will update the jar files (overwrite them with the signed versions) in the lib sub-directory of the installed Marvin Beans package.
