Supported Platforms
At present,ALMA officially supports the OT for Sun/Solaris, RedHat 7, 9, andRedHat Enterprise, Linux Fedora and Scientific Linux and Suse Linuxversions 7, 9 and 10, Windows 7, XP, VISTA and MAC OSX (Leopardand Snow Leopard). Provided the correct Java software is installed(see below), the OT will run on these platforms.
Note that, except for the Web Start
application (see Section
2.2
), the OT does not have afacility to trace bugs. Consequently, it can be difficult to reproduceand understand bugs if the description is incomplete. Therefore, towork successfully on a problem the OT development team will need adetailed description of it, including the steps that show how theproblem can be reproduced. Also they need the version number of theJava software you are using.
