If in doubt, just go ahead and install Java from the link above. This will make any Java based applications that you use (including Kojo) - run faster and better.

If you skip the Java download/install step, and if you later encounter problems while installing or running Kojo, the most likely culprit is a problem with your Java installation. In such a situation, you are requested to:

• Download Java from the link above - and Install it.
• Reinstall Kojo.
