Step-By-Step Install Guide

Please follow these steps...

Note - This guide assumes you are using Windows. This guide was made with Windows 7, other versions of Windows may vary slightly.

Download the TeslaMap program or the free evaluation version. The file you download will be called TeslaMap.zip (or something very similar). I recommend you save the downloaded TeslaMap.zip file to your desktop.

When the download is complete you will have a TeslaMap.zip file on your computer.

Right-click on the TeslaMap.zip file and a menu will appear.

Select "Extract All..." in the menu.

The Windows Extraction Wizard window will appear.

Type in the location where you would like the TeslaMap program to be placed, or just accept the default location. Be sure to make a note of this location because we'll be going there next.

Click the extract button.

A new TeslaMap folder will be created in the location you specified in the Windows Extraction Wizard.

Open the new TeslaMap folder. (It may have opened automatically if the "Show extracted files when complete" box was checked in the Extraction Wizard.)

Inside you will see a TeslaMap.jar file.

Double-click the TeslaMap.jar file to run the TeslaMap program.

If TeslaMap fails to run

Please try the following...

• Download and install the free Java Runtime Environment from Sun Microsystems.
• If TeslaMap still fails to run, the .jar file type is probably not associated with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your computer. To fix this go to:
  Start Button > Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types tab > select JAR in the list > click the Change button > select Java Platform SE Binary > click OK
• Try restarting your computer.
• Be sure you are extracting the TeslaMap.zip file, not just opening it. If you try to run the TeslaMap.jar file without extracting it, you'll get the following error...
  

If you experience any problems, please contact me (Kevin) at teslamap@gmail.com.

About .zip files

The TeslaMap program comes in a .zip file called TeslaMap.zip (or something similar). A zip file is just a bunch of files and folders that have been bundled together (aka archived, compressed, etc). Before running the TeslaMap program you'll need to extract (aka unpack, unzip, decompress, etc) the TeslaMap.zip file. Windows can do this for you. Just right click on the TeslaMap.zip file and choose "Extract All" from the menu. The Windows extraction wizard will open and guide you through the extraction process. You can also use programs like 7zip or WinZip to extract the files. After you extract the TeslaMap.zip file you should have a new folder called TeslaMap and inside this folder will be the the TeslaMap.jar file. Double click the TeslaMap.jar file and the TeslaMap program should open.
