Special thanks to Nancy for supplying me the installers which have saved my time a lot from downloading with the campus snail speed internet access.

Software needed:

• 1. Java Environment (JDK 1.4 or above).
• 2. Mysql (mysql-5.1.30-win32.zip) 103 Mb : http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/mysql/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.30-win32.zip
• 3. jTrana : http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=197781&use_mirror=waix&filename=jTrana.zip&58891613

Here are the steps recorded down when I am installing jTrana:

1. Make sure your Windows (Windows XP Pro, in my case) has Java supported, if not, install Java first.

2. Then, install mysql ( my filename is: mysql-5.1.30-win32.zip). Follow the guidelines from Larry Kahm: www.heliotropicsystems.com/pubs/TSa092005.pdf

3. Next click on jTRANA file, namely run.bat. Login as root with the password set during mysql installation. Below is the login page of jTrana upon successful installation:
