Installation Instructions

  • Before attempting to install the dashboard, make certain you have installed the required software listed below. In particular, the Process Dashboard installer program will not run if you do not have version 1.5 of the Java Runtime Environment installed on your computer.
  • After you download the Process Dashboard Installer, double-click on the file to start the installation process. (If this does not work for you, read these instructions for launching the installer manually.)
  • Please consider subscribing to our announcements mailing list. (This list is very low-traffic, typically receiving only a few email messages per year.) We will send email to this mailing list when new versions of the tool are available.

System Requirements

The Process Dashboard is 100% Java and will run on many different platforms, including Windows, Linux, Unix, and Macintosh systems.

To use the process dashboard, you must first install the following software:

  • The Java Runtime Environment (available from Sun Microsystems). Version 1.6 of the Java Runtime Environment is recommended, but only version 1.5 is required.
  • Make certain that JavaScript is enabled in your browser. (This is typically the default setting, so you usually don't need to worry about enabling this unless you explicitly disabled it in the past.)
  • If you connect to the internet via a proxy server, you may need to tell your browser to bypass the proxy for the address "localhost". The instructions below may not apply to your browser word-for-word, but should hopefully get you pointed in the right direction:
    • For Internet Explorer, choose "Tools > Internet Options". Click on the "Connections" tab, then on the "LAN Settings" button. Make certain the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" box is checked.
    • For Firefox and Safari, no changes are typically needed.
