Since you're reading this, you should already have the scoreboard code. If you don't have Java 1.5 or later installed in your system, go get it ( http://java.com ) and install it. Once you have Java installed, run the program for your system (listed below) that is in the same directory as this README. Windows: scoreboard-Windows.exe Mac: scoreboard-Mac.app Linux: scoreboard-Linux.sh Then, open (double-click) the "start.html" page that is in the same directory as this README (or, just open a browser to http://localhost:8000/ ) The web page that opens in your browser has more details on how to use the scoreboard. If you have any problems, please email the project mailing list: derbyscoreboard-devel@lists.sourceforge.net And please feel free to join the mailing list to keep up to date on bugfixes, new features, and new releases. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/derbyscoreboard-devel
