It does require that Java be installed on the computer. You can get Java as a free (but very large...) download at:
Note that all screen shots in this manual are from a Windows machine using the "Metal" User Interface option. While your screens will probably differ in some layout details, they will be essentially the same.
Note: This entire manual has been updated to correspond to JMRI 2.9.1, and the HTML verified using HTML4 and Cascading Style Sheets. If the formatting looks odd, you probably need to update your browser.
