# Mibble Installation Instructions

## Requirements

The following requirements must be met in order to use Mibble:

- Java runtime compatible with JDK 1.4.

## Installation

This software does not require any special installation. The only files needed are the jar-files in the `lib` subdirectory.

## Running

Mibble is a library, but provides a simple MIB file browser application that can be used for testing purposes. It can be run by double-clicking the `MibbleBrowser.jar` file that is found in the base directory.

There are also a few other test tools that can be run from the command-line or via the following scripts:

`bin/MibbleBrowser.sh` or `bin/MibbleBrowser.bat`

`bin/MibblePrinter.sh` or `bin/MibblePrinter.bat`

`bin/MibbleValidator.sh` or `bin/MibbleValidator.bat`

The above scripts should find and set the Java `CLASSPATH` to the jar-files in the `lib` subdirectory:

- `mibble-parser-2.9.4.jar`
- `mibble-mibs-2.9.4.jar`
- `snmp6_0.jar` (only required by MibbleBrowser)
