Hello guys, I am running the latest version of MRL. I was looking at Kwatters latest video. It looked to me that he was running a 64bit version. do we have a 64bit version? if so how do I get it.

BTW Kwatters video was vety  good.

Thanks BC

The same myrobotlab.jar can be run in multiple environement. So if you want it to run on 64bit, you need to have the 64 bit java version.  Nothing else need to be done

Hi BillC,

  I'm glad you liked the video!  Let me know what other topics you might like covered and I can try to make more!  

As calamity mentions, if you've got a 32 bit operating system, you should use 32 bit java.  If you have a 64 bit operating system you should use 64 bit java.   (mixing and matching will cause issues with the wrong versions of things to be installed and much stuff will be no worky.)

If you open a command prompt  (start menu -> run  ->  "cmd"  

you can then run 

"java -version" like the following:

 

C:\Users\kwatters>java -version
java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

Notice that it includes the "64-Bit"  in it's version information.

 

Best,

  -Kevin
