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.
If the installer does not start, check whether JAVA_HOME/bin is in PATH (where JAVA_HOME is the directory of Java).
To chech it, type the "which java" command that shows the location of the java launcher. You should get something like this:
```
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/java
```
If java is missing from PATH, you will see something like that:
```
/usr/bin/which: no java in (/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin:/opt/apache-ant-1.6.1/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/vertset/bin)
```

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.
