Which version's should I use

Ian Bell All Messages By This Member #239929 Hi there, ? The laptop I use for my model railway had to be reimaged due to me not remembering the password for logging in. (;-? (as I hadn't used it for a few months due to tweaking the layout, and other matters.) So I need to reinstall JMRI and Java. What versions should I use? ? Thanks in advance for any help. ? Ian

If not, it doesn’t matter. But if you have files like panels etc. then you would need to know what version you had been running. Depending on how old those might have been and it may impact not going with the latest JMRI. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team ? ?
Ian Bell All Messages By This Member #239939 Ken, ? Which download of Java 17 from should I use,? JDK or JRE?? ? FWIW It is Java 17 (LTS) 17.0.14+7, Azul Zulu: 17.56.15 with 2 x 64-bit downloads ? Ian
Ian Bell All Messages By This Member #239941 Forgot one other thing, which file - msi or zip ? Thanks
Dave Sand All Messages By This Member #239942 Definitely the msi download. The JDK is only required for Java programming. ?The JRE is appropriate for most people.?

Ken Cameron All Messages By This Member #239946 开云体育 Ian, ? The JRE is fine for just running JMRI. My system is also used for development of JMRI so I have the JDK so I can build code. For the most part, the real difference is the size of the download. The JDK includes a JRE as one of its parts. ? -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team ? ?
