Installing and enabling Java

This page explains how to install Java, and how to enable it in various web browsers. Using Java with Proteopedia or with FirstGlance in Jmol will improve performance significantly. Once you have Java working, you can make it the default in Proteopedia (see Using Java for Rendering Structures) or in FirstGlance in Jmol (with its Preferences). Before proceeding, you should be aware that using Java is likely a security threat -- see Using Java As Safely As Possible.
