i've downloaded the timeline folder and i've read the readme file. ita
says:
No web server? The timeline project includes a small webserver called
Jetty (use the timeline_source.zip file)
a) install the Java runtime from Sun
DO I GET IT ONLINE?
b) unzip timeline_source.zip to an install directory
I'M A MAC USER: WHAT IS AN INSTALL DIRECTORY?
c) Open a shell or command prompt to the install directory and type:
HOW DO I OPEN A COMMAND PROMPT?
[win32]> run
[unix/macosx]> chmod +x run; ./run
and then point your browser to
http://127.0.0.1:9999/timeline/
THANKS AGAIN
