<h2>JMRI® Applications</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>JMRI is a Java-based cross-platform program suite for model
|
|
railroaders.</strong><br>
|
|
It contains <a href="../html/apps/index.shtml">modular applications</a> for:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Programming of Digital Command Control (DCC) decoders (<a href=
|
|
"../html/apps/DecoderPro/index.shtml">DecoderPro®</a>)
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Drawing computer based panels for depicting a model railroad layout (<a href=
|
|
"../html/apps/PanelPro/index.shtml">PanelPro™</a> and <a href=
|
|
"../html/apps/PanelPro/index.shtml#le">Layout Editor</a>)
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Controlling the layout (All modules)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Creating train manifests for duplicating railroad operations (<a href=
|
|
"../package/jmri/jmrit/operations/Operations.shtml">OperationsPro™</a>)
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Controlling the signals on the layout (All modules)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Controlling lighting and sound in the room, and so forth (<a href=
|
|
"../html/tools/Audio.shtml">SoundPro™</a>)
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>All this capability is contained in one <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/download/index.shtml">install</a>.</p>

<h2>Take it Step by Step</h2>
|
|
<!-- image by Egbert Broerse @silverailscolo 2018 -->

<a href="images/JmriStepByStepDiagram.png"><img src="images/JmriStepByStepDiagram.png" width=

|
|
<p>Our general advice is to start with the basics. For that we suggest you start setting up a
|
|
simple track connected to your Command Station first.<br>
|
|
When train(s) run and a turnout responds to your hand held throttle, it's time to open the
|
|
<a href="../html/hardware/index.shtml">Hardware Help</a> (use the Hardware tab at the top of
|
|
the page).<br>
|
|
Next is trying to do basic things with PanelPro, for example using a JMRI Throttle to run a
|
|
loco.<br>
|
|
Once that is operating like you expect, comes the time to build a Panel, fill your Roster,
|
|
etc.<br>
|
|
Make some notes for yourself, sketch a simple diagram to way you conceive you set up. Often
|
|
that helps better than words to get things sorted (and remember 2 years later why you chose
|
|
to type that funny turnout name).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You're not discouraged to dive in, but by taking on JMRI - or any powerful, but complex
|
|
thing - one step at a time you sort of build a solid foundation that will pay for itself in
|
|
due time.<br>
|
|
Gradually build on you foundation concepts of the program and pick up elements of interest by
|
|
following some of the links at the bottom of the left sidebar on the JMRI web Help.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If this is your first visit to our manual, we suggest that you take the
|
|
<a href="https://jmri.org/help/en/html/apps/DecoderPro/Tour.shtml">DecoderPro® tour</a><br>
|
|
to get an overview of what we're about to cover.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>System Requirements</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>JMRI® requires that Java be installed, whether your computer is <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/install/MacOSX.shtml">macOS</a>, <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/install/WindowsNew.shtml">Windows</a>, or <a href=
|
|
"https://jmri.org/install/Linux.shtml">Linux</a> based.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 2.12 can run on any computer system that will run Java 1.5 or later.<br>
|
|
Version 2.14.1 requires Java 1.5 (or 1.6 if you wish for drag & drop)<br>
|
|
Version 3.10.1 requires Java 1.7 or later.<br>
|
|
Version 4.2 - 4.27 requires Java 1.8.<br>
|
|
Version 4.99 and up requires Java 11.</p>
