Download and Install Scroll Rack

Scroll Rack is a Java application. You will need a Java Runtime Environment (1.4 compatable or better).

It uses two external (open source) libraries:

SWT for graphics.
Smack for Jabber support.

Windows

Go to the Scroll Rack Files page. Download the newest version of scrollrack-win-version.zip. Unpack it in C:\Program Files. This installs scrollrack.exe, SWT, and Smack into C:\Program Files\ScrollRack.

It does not install any shortcuts, menu items, or registry entries.

To run Scroll Rack, run C:\Program Files\ScrollRack\scrollrack.exe.

Linux (RPM based)

Modern Linux distributions come with a Java Runtime Environment and SWT. I was unable to find a Smack RPM package, so I created one. Download it from here and install it.

Go to the Scroll Rack Files page. Download the newest version of scrollrack-version.rpm and install it.

To run Scroll Rack, run /usr/bin/scrollrack.

Note: I've been unable to get Jabber to work with the Gnu JRE. You may need to download and use the Sun JRE to use Jabber.
