System requirements

--------------------
-- Java Runtime Engine (JRE) version 8 (or higher). http://java.com.

-- Windows XP or higher.

-- Mac OS X (10.5)

-- other operating systems should work but are untested.




Installation

-----------------------
CFM  is delivered in a compressed archive (.ZIP) file.
CFM will not run from inside a compressed archive.  
You must extract (unzip) the archive to create an
uncompressed folder before running CFM.  For Windows
you must right click on the file and choose Extract...
If you are double clicking on the archive,you are not
unpacking it, just looking inside it.


Usage Instructions

----------------------
If you have a StarSense Accessory, review the
StarSense_Connection_Diagram included with this file.

Double click the file called CFM.jar in the uncompressed
archive.  Windows hides the .jar file extension by default.

When the program starts, click the "Update" button to begin
updating your telescope.


To run CFM from the terminal window, navigate to the folder
containing CFM.jar and type:  java -jar CFM.jar


Troubleshooting

---------------------

If you see "Can't find Main class" then you are using an
outdated version of Java or your are running from inside
the compressed archive.

If you don't see anything when you start CFM, or if you see
the splash screen for just a moment before it quits, then you
have an outdated version of Java.
