Under construction
Box Of Stops is designed to run on the Raspberry Pi, which is a great size for plugging into a musical keyboard, and comes with everything Box Of Stops needs built-in.
It is possible to install Box Of Stops on Windows though. It doesn't run quite as well on Windows (see the topic on Latency), but is still quite playable. Certainly good enough to give it a test drive.
Because Windows doesn't come with everything Box Of Stops needs built in, you will need to install a few other dependencies first:
And then set up.
Installing Java
Java can be freely downloaded from java.com. If you are downloading from Firefox you will get a message about being unable to run Java as a plugin - this is not a problem for Box Of Stops.
After that, please install Java using the default options. The only exception to this is that at the moment the installer kindly offers to set Yahoo as your homepage and default search provider - there is no need to accept this.
