A full installation of MochiView varies slightly depending on your operating system (see below). The process is very simple, but you must make sure that you have the necessary version of Java installed (see the [SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS] page).
PC
Download the zipped application from the link above. Unzip the file and you’ll see a folder titled ‘MochiView’. Inside the folder you’ll see an executable file called ‘MochiView.exe’. Just double-click the file and MochiView will launch. (TIP: create a shortcut to the executable file and drag it into the quick launch bar.) Do not place the MochiView folder in the Windows ‘Program Files’ folder, as this folder may have restricted file permissions that will prevent MochiView from maintaining a database.
Linux
Download and extract the zipped application from the link above. Run MochiView from the command line by navigating to the ‘INTERNAL_USE’ folder and typing the following:
java -jar -Xms512m -Xmx1024m ChipView.jar
Mac
Download the application from the link above. Just extract the zip file and double-click the application to run (see note above about making sure that you have the proper Java configuration!).
If you already have a full install of MochiView - and you’re just looking to upgrade to the latest version - upgrading is a simple matter of replacing the current ‘ChipView.jar‘ file in your installation. Where you’ll find the file varies depending on your OS:
PC and Linux
‘ChipView.jar‘ is in the folder titled ‘INTERNAL_USE‘
Mac
Ctrl+Click the application and select ‘Show Package Contents‘ from the menu. Navigate to ‘Contents\Resources\Java‘ and you will find ‘ChipView.jar‘
(It is never a bad idea to back-up your database before updating!)
