Installing Lurch
I received an email asking about installing Lurch and I thought it would be nice to respond here, so that everyone can benefit from my response.
First, recall that you can always use Lurch from a computer on campus by following the instructions that were on the original Circle-Dot handout. In case, you don't have the Circle-Dot handout handy, you can get to it here.
If you want to install Lurch on your own computer, it is easy to do. Follow these instructions:
- Go to http://lurch.sourceforge.net/
- Click on "Downloads" in the menu at the top of the page.
- Click on the big arrow next to "Download LurchLite."
- The download should automatically begin.
- Once the download has completed, double-click the file (if it doesn't open for you automatically).
- If you are using a Mac, drag the application to your Applications folder.
- If you are using a PC with MS Windows, then do whatever you usually do with applications.
- Once Lurch (LurchLite technically) is installed, you can just double-click the application to get started.
If you have any trouble, post your questions here.
