Software requirements

 

In order to run FM, you need to have JDK 1.1.6 and JFC 1.1 with Swing 1.0.3 installed. These can be downloaded from:

	JDK1.1.6:	http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/
	JFC1.1:		http://java.sun.com/products/jfc
This is the minimum software required.

Optionally, FM  is also capable of storing the market information into a MySQL database. For that purpose both a MySQL database and the MySQL JDBC driver should be installed. Both packages can be downloaded from the following sites:

	MySQL:		http://www.tcx.se/download.html
	MySQL JDBC:	http://www.gwe.co.uk/mysql/
In order to browse the database contents, you can download and install XMySQL, a freely available Xforms based GUI front end to MySQL, from:
	XMySQL:		http://web.wt.net/~dblhack/
Finally, FM  keeps track and stores the evolution of the performance of the agents involved in each tournament in order for these to be analyzed. To obtain a visual representation of the evolution of the tournament, download gnuplot from the GNU web site (http://www.gnu.org/gnu) and follow the instructions in the manual.
