System Requirements
The Process Dashboard is 100% Java, and will run on any system with a Java 2 compliant virtual machine. This includes Windows, Linux, Unix, and Macintosh systems. For access to forms and scripts, a web browser is also required.
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 Java and JavaScript are enabled in your browser. (This
is typically the default setting, so you usually don't need to worry about
enabling these unless you explicitly disabled them 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:
|
Installation Instructions:
| Before attempting to install the dashboard, make certain you have
installed the required software listed above. 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. | ||||
| Download one of the Process Dashboard Installer programs below:
| ||||
| On most systems, simply double-click on the file you downloaded 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. |
Add-on Process Sets
The following process does not come with the dashboard by default, but is easy to install.
|
| PSP for Engineers - a process designed for students taking the "PSP for Engineers I & II" courses. This process creates, in one step, a work breakdown structure for all of the programming assignments. Requires version 1.7 (or higher) of the Process Dashboard. [Last updated: Apr 26, 2007] |
To install an add-on process set:
| Locate the file "pspdash.jar" on your system.
(If you are
on a Windows system, this file is most likely located in the directory
"C:\Program Files\Process Dashboard".) |
| Click on a link above to download the add-on process set.
When your browser asks you whether you want to save the file or open it;
choose Save. Save the file into the directory you found in the
previous step. (In other words, the pspdash.jar
file and the add-on process
file should be side-by-side in the same directory. Do
not overwrite the pspdash.jar
file, just save the process file into the same directory.) |
| If the dashboard is running, you will need to restart it for the new
processes to be found.
