Installing Jython

See the instructions for installing Jython on your operating system below.

Note: Since Jython is written in Java, you'll need a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run Jython. Some operating systems come equipped with a JVM; for those that don't, we've included instructions for installing one.


Mac OSX
Windows XP
Windows 2000/98
Red Hat Linux
