JBoom may be installed as a <strong>programm</strong> or
as an <strong>applet</strong>. Using it as a program is more
comfortable, but requires a "remote controllable" browser
(see documentation). CHoose the program mode, if one of the 
following applies:

<ul>
<li>Your OS is Windows or MacOS;</li>
<li>Your browser is Firefox oder Mozilla.</li>
</ul>

<br>You may choose between a <strong>local</strong> and a
<strong>remote</strong> installation. A local installation has to be done
on each client. If you install the program remotely, it has to be done 
only once, afterwards the program can be started from any client using
Java webstart (utility <code>javaws</code> from the JRE). The only precondition
is that you ave write access to any HTTP server. Many providers offer
a sufficient amount of web space for free, so this should not be a problem.

<p>Finally you have the choice between a <strong>simple</strong> and
an <strong>expert</strong> installation. In simple mode, files are
installed under standard names, and you have to make only a few
inputs. In expert mode you have more influence on the locations
of program and configuration files, and have to enter more data.
