MidiQuickFix is available both as source code and a pre-built executable jar file from the downloads page and also as source code from CVS (for those who want the latest bugs fixes)

Prerequisites

• A properly installed j2re version 1.5 or greater is all that is needed to run MidiQuickFix.
  
• For development you will need j2sdk 1.5 or greater installed.
  Apache ant can be used with the supplied build scripts.
  I use NetBeans as my development environment so, if you would like to work on the code, it would probably be worth installing that too.

Jar file install and use

• Download the jar file from the downloads page.
  
• On most systems you should be able to run the program by double-clicking its icon in your file browser or from the command line with
  java -jar MidiQuickFix-n.n.n.jar

Source code install and run
