MidiYodi is developed in Java allowing it to execute on any platform that has Java installed.

MidiYodi has been tested on:

Windows Vista
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Linux (RedHat)

Most likely it runs on earlier versions of Windows and other Unix dialects as well. (Please send me a mail to confirm this.)

Downloading and Installing MidiYodi 1.1

The Windows and Unix versions of MidiYodi only differ in how they are packed. The Windows version has an installer and a startup batch file whilst the Unix version is contained in a tar file and has a startup script. See the User Guide for further details.

Note that you have to have Java JRE 5 or 6 installed as well. however in most cases Java JRE is already installed on your computer. Try downloading and starting MidiYodi before installing Java JRE.

Windows
Download the installer by clicking the link below. Start the installer and follow the intructions. By default the application will be installed at C:\Program\MidiYodi.

A desktop icon will be created on the desktop to launch the application. The actual file that is executed is C:\Program\MidiYodi\bin\midiyodi.bat.

Downloading and Installing Java Runtime Environment 6.0

J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) is free to download from Sun. MidiYodi only require the runtime part (JRE). If you already have Java installed on your computer you don't have to install it again.

Follow the instrucions to download JRE 6.

Once installed, Java's bin directory must be in your path. On XP and Vista the installation automatically updates the path. On Unix you must add it yourself.

Check that the java command is found and that it is the correct version by issuing the following command in a command prompt.

java -version

It shall respond with:

Java(TM) Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build xxx)

where XX and YY are subversion number and build number. The important stuff is that you have version 1.5.0 or later.
