Overview
These instructions are for J804.
J is distributed as a base system plus optional addon packages.
The base system is the minimal system for running J applications. It includes two user interfaces:
- Jconsole, a command-line front-end
- JHS, a browser-based front-end
The optional addons extend the power of the language, and include:
- Many packages written in J
- Packages for plotting, graphics, visualization, and much more
- Interfaces to popular software packages such as R, LAPACK, and Excel
- Tutorials and programming tools for the J language
- the Qt IDE, a congenial programming environment with a modern windowed interface to J, sophisticated debugging tools, and a platform-independent interface to the Qt graphics library. J with the Qt IDE is known as Jqt.
Supported platforms are described in the Platforms page.
