Installation (client)
From DKPLP Doc
There are packaged distributions available for Windows, Linux and OS X. They can be downloaded at http://dkplp.org/download/latest.html . The program itself is platform-idependent, but requires the SWT windget toolkit, which is platform-dependent (and included in the downloads).
The program requires Java (>=JRE 5.0) which is available for most platforms at http://java.sun.com. Most platforms should already have Java installed, but may have an out of date version of it. The best thing to do is probably to try to run the program, if it doesn't work then try updating the JRE. Go to the JRE 5.0 download section then click on "Download JRE 5.0".

Installation
Windows
Simply unzip the zip file. Run the file named "DKP Log Parser.exe" to run the program.
Linux
The contained dkp-log-parser.sh shell script should launch the program. You might have to set executable permissions first.
chmod 755 dkp-log-parser.sh ./dkp-log-parser.sh
The script should only be executed from the directory that it is in. The reason is that a couple of SWT library files have to be set to the library path. That can be fixed by editing the script and replacing the bind with the actual absolute path to the installation directory.
OS X
There is a packaged distribution for Mac OS X, but it is experimental. The package contains an application that should as a normal application (it can be docked and so on). It does not seem to executre properly though, more specifically there seems to be trouble to get SWT to work properly. Anyone willing to experiment a bit with this distribution is welcome to do so, and please spread the word if you find a way to get it to work.
After the installation
The first time the program is launched a configuration wizard will pop up. The most important settings are set there. After completing the wizard you might also want to check the member list to make sure that your guild's members are there. The list is taken from the server each time a connection is established, so if for example EQDKP's memberlist isn't populated then it would be a good time to populate it.
For reference this is how to configure the important options without the wizard.
Click on Edit->Preferences in the menu and then click on the Server tab. Set the field labeled Server url to the location of the base folder of the system installation that the program should communicate with. For instance it could be something like http://www.foo.com/eqdkp/ for EQDKP.
Click Save and then attempt to connect to the server via Server->Connect in the menu. You have to have permission to add raids, loot and events in order to be given permission to connect. If the login dialog says something about an unexpected server response then the file can not be found or isn't working properly.
