Installation and Startup

For Unix installation look at the file install.txt which contains up-to-date instructions. For Windows there is an install utility (run setup.exe).

On startup JAZZ looks for its configuration file

  1. in the current directory
  2. in the home directory (where the environment variable HOME points to)
  3. in the directory from where JAZZ itself was started.
The file is named .jazz in Unix and jazz.cfg in MS-Windows. Then JAZZ searches for a song named jazz.mid in the current directory and loads it - if found. This song may contain default settings for your midi equipment.

JAZZ will also look for a license file called jazz.lic.
