(If you have ChordSmith, https://sourceforge.net/projects/chordsmith/, installed on your computer, you already have Chord5. It's in a folder called "chord" inside the ChordSmith distribution.)

You must have the Java JRE installed on your computer to run Chord5. You can get it free at java.com.

If you want just the Chord5 program, download the Chord5_X.X.zip file. Then,

1. Extract the "Chord" folder from the zip file (2 levels deep).
2. Put the extracted folder in a convenient place on your hard drive. For example, in Windows, suggest installing in C:\Users\Public.
3. The Chord.jar file must remain in the extracted folder; do not move it. Instead, create a shortcut to the ChordSmith.jar file and put it on your desktop (or other preferred place) for easy access.

If you want the Chord source code download Chord5_nbProject.zip file. Then,

1. Unzip it.
2. Extract the Chord5_nbProject folder from the Chord5_x.x folder. The Chord5_nbProject folder has the source code and build information usable with the NetBeans IDE.
3. Put the extracted Chord5_nbProject folder in a convenient place, for example in the directory that holds your other NetBeans projects. You can then open it with NetBeans.

You can edit the build.xml file to set the version number (line 13):

    <property name="version.number"  value="1.0"/>

The "version" refers to the version number of the Chord5 program.
