The installer expects Java 5 or newer to be already installed on your
computer. If a current version of Java is not yet installed you can download
it for free using one of the Java download links listed below.
On most platforms the installer can be started directly from within the browser. You can also start it from the command line with:
java -jar linkbylink-x.x.x-installer.jarThe manual can also be browsed with the help function integrated in LinkByLink.
LinkByLink requires a current release of Java 5
(or Java 6).
This is in particular important for Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.4, where the
current Java release includes important bug fixes. For Mac OS X 10.5 no
download is required.
If you have not yet installed Java on your PC you can download it for free from here:
After finishing the installation start LinkByLink. In order to activate
your license simply save the email with the license key as a text file and
load this file with Load License in the
About LinkByLink dialog window.
You can then start your first link check by entering the URL of a website and clicking on the Start Check icon.
