Message Board

You have chosen to download Quizzam 3.1, release 1. Please read the terms of the Free License before downloading. By downloading and/or installing the program, you will have accepted the terms of the Free License.

In the future, we will provide you with an installer program to automatically set up the Quizzam application.

But for now, please follow these steps:

STEP 1: Install the JRE

Quizzam is a Java application, and needs "Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.0" in order to run properly. If you do not already have this installed on your machine, then you must download and run the JRE install file before Quizzam will function. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate your web browser to: http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html.
2. Select the latest version of the J2SE (the higher the number the better, but make sure it's at least 1.4).
3. On the new web page that comes up, click the "download" link in the JRE column, on the row that corresponds to your operating system. For most people, this will be on one of the "Windows" rows.

STEP 2: Install Quizzam

IF YOUR COMPUTER RUNS ON A WINDOWS PLATFORM, THEN:


1.

Download the Windows zip file by clicking on the following link: quizzam_3-1.zip


2.

Once you have downloaded the file, create a new folder and expand the zip file into it.


3.

Double-click on the quizzam.bat file to run the application.


4.

If you wish to avoid launching a command-prompt window every time you run the program), then create a windows shortcut that runs the following command:
     javaw -jar quizzam.jar


5.

Subsequently double-clicking on the new shortcut will launch the application without the console window showing up.


6.

Quizzam comes with its own Windows icon, which you can use for your windows shortcut. The icon is contained within the quizzam.ico file (this is included within the quizzam_3-1.zip file).

OTHERWISE, IF YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT RUNNING ON A WINDOWS PLATFORM, THEN:


1.

Download the Quizzam application file by clicking on the following link: quizzam.jar


2.

Run the Quizzam application by typing:
     java -jar quizzam.jar


3.

Alternatively (to avoid typing in that long line every time), you may create a script to run that command for you.

STEP 3 (optional): Download a sample Flashcard Deck

You may download our sample flashcard deck, and learn the 50 state capitals in the United States, by clicking on this link: US_StateCapitals.zip

The sample flashcard deck can be found inside the .ZIP file.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you encounter any problems installing or running the application.

Or, post a message on our message board.

COOL TIP: Command-Line Parameters:

Quizzam can accept the name of a file as a command-line parameter. If a filename is supplied, then the specified file will automatically be loaded into Quizzam as soon the program starts up.

For example, one of the following lines might (depending on your setup) cause the program to (immediately upon startup) load a file named "MyCards.qml":
   - quizzam.bat MyCards.qml
   - javaw -jar quizzam MyCards.qml
   - java -jar quizzam MyCards.qml
   - quizzam.sh MyCards.qml
   - quizzam MyCards.qml
