PIPT
Download
The PIPT is offered for Windows, for Mac OS X and as a jar file for any operating system.
Installation
Before installing the PIPT, you need to ensure that Java 1.6 ("Java 6") or higher is running on your computer. Please refer to the Java installation help for further information.
If this requirement is fulfilled, the installation is straightforward: Just download the PIPT for your operating system and store it locally in a directory of your choice. Done!
On Windows, move the downloaded file to a convenient location and launch the PIPT by double-clicking its icon.
On Mac OS X, double-click the downloaded disk image to see its content. Move the file PIPT-n to a convenient location and launch it by double-clicking its icon.
On Linux (or any other operating system, for that matter) try to double-click on the icon of the file you've just downloaded, and see what happens. If this doesn't produce the desired effect, open a terminal and type in
<code>java -jar</code> your_jar_file
where your_jar_file denotes the downloaded file.
When starting the PIPT for the first time, you will be greeted with a welcome message asking you to select a location for the cache. After that you will be informed that your cache requires an update, and you will be asked to log in so that the update can be made.
And finally, the PIPT frame appears and you can start creating and editing your proposals.
