Requirements
========================================
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 1.7 or higher, is required. 
To find out what JRE version you have, open a command prompt and type in "java -version". 
If Java 1.7 or higher is not available on your system, you can obtain it in the following places:

- Windows: http://java.com
- Linux: In the official software repository of your distribution.
- OS X: http://java.com

The TruthSearchTool is incorporated into a free indexing and search application called DocFetcher.  
The application will run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.  Below are the instructions on how to 
start the application based on the operating system you are using.

Important:  To use this application you must first extract the TruthSearchTool.zip folder 
to your local hard drive or to a USB thumb drive.  

Second: Navigate to the extracted TruthSearchTool folder and follow the instructions below 
for your operating system.

Windows: Double-click truthsearchtool.exe in the TruthSearchTool folder to start the application.  
Alternatively, right click on truthsearchtool.exe and then left click the menu option 
Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).  After that you can double click the truthsearchtool.exe 
shortcut on your desktop to start the application.

Linux:	
1. One time setup - Set the permissions property on the truthsearchtool.sh file in the 
TruthSearchTool folder to run as an application. 

2. One time setup - Send a link to the truthsearchtool.sh file to your Desktop.

3. Double click the truthsearchtool.sh link that is on your Desktop to start the application.

Note: The above only works if the files are on a local hard drive.  If the truthsearchtool.sh 
file opens up in a text editor instead of launching the appliction or if you desire to run the 
application from a USB thumb drive you will need to open the TruthSearchTool folder in a terminal 
window and type ./truthsearchtool.sh at the prompt to launch the application.

MAC OS X: Launch the program by double-clicking on the truthsearchtool.app application bundle in the TruthSearchTool folder.
