In case the check for Java 7 from the previous test did not work, please follow this step-by-step guide to install Java JDK 7 on your Windows 7 or 8. Make sure at the end that you edit the PATH environment variable to add the path to the newly installed Java 7 (usually it is installed in:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_13\bin). This step-by-step guide helps you set the environment variable.

To launch Protege Desktop, double-click the run.bat file in the root directory of the installation.
For quicker access to Protege Desktop going forward, right-click on the run.bat file and select "Send to" -> "Desktop (create shortcut)". This will create a shortcut to Protege Desktop's launcher on your Windows Desktop called "run.bat - Shortcut". Select the shortcut and press the F2 key to rename the shortcut to something more user friendly, e.g., "Protege 5.0 beta".
Troubleshooting
Q: When I double-click on the run script, nothing happens, or I see a window that comes up, and goes away!
A: Try running Protege from a console and report any errors displayed in the console window on the Protege User Support mailing list.
- How to run Protege from the console on Windows:
- Click the Start menu
- Type
cmdin the search box and press the Enter key - In the resulting Command Prompt, change to the directory where you unzipped Protege (e.g.,
cd "C:\Program Files\Protege_5.0_beta") - Type
run.bat.
- How to run Protege from the console on OS X:
- Open Finder
- Select Applications -> Utilities, then double-click on the Terminal application
- In the resulting Terminal window, change to the directory where you unzipped Protege (e.g.,
cd /Applications/Protege_5.0_beta) - Type
sh run.command
Q: When I run run.bat in Windows, I get the error message:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
A: Windows cannot find Java on your system. This can happen either if: (1) you do not have Java installed on your computer, or (2) you have Java installed, but it is not found on the PATH environment variable of your system. The solution is either to install java (if you don't have it), and/or to add it to the PATH variable. Both solutions are described here.
