Yoix / Download

Note that by downloading these files you will be agreeing to the terms of the Yoix open source license.

Download the Yoix Installer  (top)

You will need to have the Java Virtual Machine (java) installed on your system to run not only the Yoix installer, but the Yoix interpreter as well. Versions for several platforms are available from Sun Microsystems. We no longer support Java 1.3.1, so Sun's 1.4.0 release is the oldest version of Java that can run the installer or interpreter. We've had lots of success with Sun's 1.5.0 release and it's the version that we recommend. Java 1.4.2 is generally acceptable, but bugs that have been fixed in 1.5.0 (e.g., drag and drop, AWT font selection on Linux) can affect Yoix applications. Java 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 are no longer supported by Sun and we don't recommend either one.

The Yoix installer is now an executable jar file, so your browser may know how to install Yoix when you click on the link that's used to download the installer. The steps for downloading and running the Yoix installer are as follows:

  1. Download the Yoix installer, (Yoix2_2_1.jar).
  2. At a command prompt and in the same folder where you placed the downloaded file, type:

    java -jar Yoix2_2_1.jar
    The installer will guide you from there.

    If you prefer not to use our installer, you can directly download the Yoix interpreter jar file, either optimized or with debugging tables, and then set-up a shell script, BAT file, Shortcut or whatever you prefer to do the equivalent of the following command-line: 

    java [java_args] -jar jarfile [yoix_args] [yoix_script] [script_args]
    where jarfile is the full pathname of the Yoix interpreter jar file that you downloaded. We suggest you add -D size as a Yoix argument, where size is the diagonal screen size in inches of the monitor on which Yoix will be displayed. In that way, you can be sure that Yoix will properly represent 72 screen units as 1 inch.

Download the Yoix Documentation  (top)

There is online Yoix documentation, but if you would like a copy of your own, follow these steps:
  1. Download the Yoix documentation zip file (doc.zip).
  2. Unpack the zip file using something like WinZip on a Windows machine, ZipIt on a Macintosh machine or the following unzip command on a Linux machine:

    unzip doc.zip -d destination_directory
    Users on case-insensitive file systems should be aware that there are a few documentation files whose names differ only by the case of one letter and so will overwrite each other. Refer to the FAQ for more details.

Download the Yoix Source Code  (top)

The Yoix source code is available by downloading the following zip file: yoix_src_2_2_1.zip. It can be unzipped in the same manner described above for the documentation.

Download Some Yoix Examples  (top)

Some Yoix examples are available in yet another zip file (examples.zip) that can be unpacked as indicated above for the source and documentation files.

Download the Yoix Web Application Instant Template (YWAIT)  (top)

The complete YWAIT package is available in a separate zip file (YWAIT.zip) that can also be unpacked as indicated above for the source and documentation files. After you unzip it, be sure to read the README

Download Byzgraf for Business Graphics  (top)

The Byzgraf Yoix script, a demo script and a PDF of the Byzgraf webpage documentation is available in a separate zip file (byzgraf.zip) that can also be unpacked as indicated above for the source and documentation files.
