# Installation and Setup

In order to install javaDraw, you must have the Java Runtime Environment (>=1.8) installed.

## Installation

To install javaDraw, you must download the JAR file from the latest release on GitHub:

{% embed url="<https://github.com/javadraw/javadraw/releases>" %}

You will need to place this JAR file into your project via whatever means are provided to you by your workspace environment. There are a couple of examples here, but some cases may vary.
