| 16 | == Installation == | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | KIELER Pragmatics 2020/03 is provided as a set of features, available to be added to your Eclipse installation via an update site. KIELER Pragmatics 2020/03 was tested on [[Eclipse 2020-03>>url:https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-03||shape="rect"]], but may also be compatible with other versions of Eclipse. | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * See the [[KIELER Downloads>>doc:Downloads]] site for download details. | ||
| 21 | * KIELER Pragmatics requires an installed Java Runtime Environment >= version 1.8. | ||
| 22 | * The layout components of the Eclipse Layout Kernel can make use of the layout algorithms provided by the [[Graphviz>>url:http://www.graphviz.org/||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]] library. You may want to install that as well. | ||

| 29 | |||
| 30 | KLighD has now moved out of the KIELER Pragmatics Project and is now a standalone project hosted on GitHub and had a first release there. For more information on that, visit the official [[KLighD GitHub page>>url:https://github.com/kieler/KLighD||shape="rect"]]. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Together with removing KLighD from this project, we went through the remaining plug-ins and features and moved or discontinued a few more. For more information on the individual elements, see the [[Discontinued Projects>>url:https://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/confluence/x/GoAX||shape="rect"]]: | ||
