In this case, we recommend these steps:

 

    1. Download the universal zip version of Alice 3.1 to the desktop.
    2. Unzip on the desktop.
      1. Windows machines: Move the unzipped folder (containing all of Alice) to the Program Files (X86) folder on the C:\ drive.
      2. Mac OS X: Move the unzipped folder to the desired location on your computer  
    3. Create a shortcut
      1. Windows: on the desktop to Alice3.bat (for Alice 3.1).
      2. Mac OS X: Drag the Alice start up icon to the Dock (this should still leave the Alice startup icon in the unzipped folder) 
      3. Alternatively, you can try running from an executable. Alice does not currently ship with an exe by default but can be added manually:
        1. First download the zip here: http://help.alice.org/w/file/Alice3.zip 
        2. Extract the two files (.exe and .ini extensions) and add them to the Alice3 folder next to where the batch is.
        3. Double click Alice3.exe
    4. Click the shortcut to start Alice.

 

By way of explanation: Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X 10.8 all have strengthened their malware protection schemes that resists installing non-standard software directly on the hard drive. The best way we have found to work within this protection scheme is to unzip the Alice download on the desktop and then move it to the hard drive.

 

 

 

      1. Go to the command line on your machine.
        1. Windows: Start Menu -> Run -> cmd)
        2. Mac OS X: Applications -> Terminal 
      2. type "java -version" (without the quotes).
      3. Copy and paste what is displayed and send it to us…
      4. If you get a message indicating that the system does not recognize the command, the path to Java may not be set correctly.

There is a difference between the Java JDK, which you need for Alice, and the Java JRE. Make sure that you have installed the JDK.
