Re: [Swarm-Support] How can I get start with Swarm software?

[Paul Johnson]

You don't need to dl the "needed software". That stuff is needed for
people who are building Swarm packages, and you don't want to do that.
You want to find a pre-packaged version and install it.  I don't use
Windows myself, but I do try to offer pointers:
http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html

After that, I would suggest you download the User Guide and also the
full set of reference documentation. That's a package on the web site
ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/docs/swarmdocs/set-2.1.1-html.tar.gz

I would say it is easier to work with Swarm in Objective-C and if you
don't use Java, don't start just for Swarm.
