How to download and install Luna Insight 5.6 Java application to your home computer

Luna's Insight 5.6 Java application software is available for download directly from the manufacturer's website: http://www.lunaimaging.com/downloads/index.html. Scroll down to the Insight JAVA Client download and choose the version of the application that matches your computer; be careful that the download corresponds both to your platform (PC or Mac) and to your current operating system (e.g., XP or OS X). The file is rather large, and may take several minutes to download, depending on the speed of your network connection.

Once the file has been downloaded, install it using the advanced setting and follow the directions in the various dialogue boxes as they appear on your screen.

When asked for the User Manager Address type: "insight.nyu.edu". The application is now ready for use.
