Datasqueeze is also available for Linux, Macintosh, or Unix-like operating systems..

Installing Datasqueeze

1. You need to make sure that you are logged in as administrator, or that you have administrator privileges.
2. If you are not sure whether you have Java Version 8 or above installed (JavaSoft does not count) point your browser to https://www.java.com/en/download/ to download the latest version of Java. Note: if, at a later stage in the installation process, you get a message that says something like "Could not find main class" it means that your current version of Java is not sufficiently up to date. The same thing applies to messages saying something like "Unable to launch Java Application" or s "Unsupported major.minor version 52.0" or "Failed to load Main Class"

5. When you first run, you will be asked to enter an access code and to agree to some legal stuff. If you do not have an access code, you can run the Trial version, which will run for up to ten days. If, after downloading and running the trial version, you decide you want to upgrade to the full-featured registered version please request an access key-this is all you will need to make the upgrade.
6. An onboard help menu and pdf manual provide additional instructions--new users are strongly urged to read through the help file, which includes a short tutorial, before using the program. Most components in the graphical interface can also be right-clicked for a short description.
