SEO PowerSuite installation requirements

SEO PowerSuite consists of four separate tools:

• Rank Tracker
• WebSite Auditor
• SEO SpyGlass
• LinkAssistant

All these tools are written using the latest Java technology, so you must have the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 1.5 or later (available at http://www.java.com/ web site) installed before you install SEO PowerSuite.

If you are installing for Mac OS X, you already have Apple's JRE installed, though you can find updates for your Java VM at http://developer.apple.com/java/download/.

Windows users should visit the http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp page to download and install Java.

Linux users can probably find a decent version of Java already in their favorite distribution. Debian GNU/Linux users should visit the http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp page to download and install Sun's Java.
