1. Download the latest release of Zinc. This will be in the form of a file called zinc-1.04.jar.
   
   
2. In a terminal, change directory to where you put zinc-1.04.jar.
   
   
3. If you want to do a system wide install then you may have to su root to gain superuser privileges.
   
   
4. Start the installer with the command java -jar zinc-1.04.jar. If the java program is not in your PATH then you will have to specify the full path to java.
   
   
5. The Zinc installer will install Zinc to a directory of your choosing. To run Zinc, issue the command:
   
   java -jar /where/you/installed/Zinc/Zinc.jar
   
   Again if java is not in your PATH then you will have to specify its full path.
