System Requirements

If you're not sure, give it a try anyway and see if it works. If the installation fails, install Java using the instructions below, then try again.

Mac users only: Note that Mac systems older than 10.4 do not support the latest version of Java. Since ACORNS Version 3.0 requires Java Version 1.5, you will need to upgrade your Operating System if you have one of these older systems.
