1. Surf to the following link: http://www.java.com and install the version of Java they suggest. This is important! You must have their latest version. They might tell you that you already have the latest version.
2. Click on the following link: jedit4.3pre18-Lazy8Ledger-2.24-install.jar and you will immediately begin downloading jEdit and Lazy8Ledgers install program. Click (possibly double-click) on the file you just downloaded to start the install program.
3. Remember where the installation program says it put the program you need to start. Use you “explorer” and go to that directory and right-click on jEdit.jar and choose “copy.” Then right-click on your desktop and choose “paste shortcut”. There are of course drag-and-drop possibilities here as well.
4. Click on your newly created link. When you get the question about “Do you want to setup lazy8 ledger” answer “yes”
5. When you get the question about “username” and “password”, leave both fields EMPTY.
6. Create your company and list of accounts.
