System Requirements and First Launch

MagicPlot is a cross-platform application based on Java technology. You need to install JavaSE (Java Standard Edition) Virtual Machine (JVM, also referred as Java Runtime Environment, JRE) with version not older than 6. Java 6 is also referred to as Java 1.6.

Where to get the Java Virtual Machine?

  • Microsoft Windows users: java.com
  • Mac OS X users: Use the Software Update feature of your operating system if needed.
  • Unix-like system users: java.com or openjdk.java.net/install/
    • If you run MagicPlot jar-file from command line, set the maximum Java heap size by specifying the following parameters:
      java -Xmx1024m -jar magicplot.jar
    • MagicPlot may not launch on old versions of OpenJDK Java Runtime (version 1.6.0_18 is enough) which may be installed by default on your Unix-like system. In such case update OpenJDK Java Runtime or install JVM from java.com.
