Installation

System requirements:

Fertilizer Chooser requires about 62 MB of free hard disk space for a full installation and a monitor with a graphics resolution of at least 800 x 600 pixels. By default, the program runs in a 800 x 600 pixels window, but it can be re-sized as desired.

Installation procedure:

  1. Download the zip file (Fert_Generic.zip) and unzip the contents to a folder of your choice.
  2. Double-click on the setup file and follow the installation instructions.
  3. The setup program will first install the Java™ 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) SE v1.4.1. Follow the instructions and choose Typical as your installation option.
  4. Following this, the setup program installs the Fertilizer Chooser software in the default directory c:\Program Files\FertilizerChooser. This cannot be customized.
  5. After setup is complete, click on the [Close] button and start using the program. Rebooting the computer is not required.
  6. Go to Start > Programs > FertilizerChooser > FertilizerChooser to launch the program. Alternatively, start the program by double-clicking on the Fertilizer Chooser icon, which has been placed on the desktop during installation.
