Step One: Installing a Java2 Runtime Environment (JRE)
You can skip this step if you are sure that your computer already has a Java2 Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java2 Software Development Kit (JSDK) with a version number of 1.4 or later.
You can download and install the latest JRE from the Sun website. Please click the link below and follow the instructions to download and install the most recent, non-beta JRE.
Step Two: Download the Courseware Viewer

Note: You will need to configure the bin directory of your JRE into your system PATH environment variable to use this viewer
You can download the viewer here:
viewer.tar.gz (for Linux)
viewer.zip (for Windows)
After downloading, please follow these steps to install and test the Courseware Viewer.
1. Open a command-prompt window or console and change to the directory to which you downloaded the archive. Then unpack the archive to extract the JARs to a directory on your hard disk. This directory will act as the installation directory for the Viewer. If your computer has Windows installed, WinZip can unpackage the archive. If you are using Unix, you can use the "gzip" and "tar" programs to unpackage the archive:
tar zxvf viewer.tar.gz
chmod +X viewer.sh
2. In the command prompt, change to the installation directory. Look for the viewer.bat batch file if you are running Windows or viewer.sh file if you are running a Linux with a bash shell.
3. To launch the viewer, type
viewer.bat
under Windows or
./viewer.sh
under Linux.

After installing the Courseware Viewer, you can download the
