 Prerequisites for compiling the source component and source distribution on Windows:
   * Java JDK 6.x or later. For compiling on Windows 64 bit, need the 64 bit version of JDK. For compiling Greenstone 3.06 and onwards, need JDK 7.x or later.
-  * PERL: if you're using GS3.07 or earlier, get ActivePerl for Windows. From GS3.08 onwards, binaries and source distributions come with a Strawberry Perl located in the GS3's ''gs2build\bin\windows\perl'' folder.

   * Visual Studio 8 or later (Visual Studio 12 on 64 bit Windows 10 worked too.)

+**NOTE:** Previously, the instructions for running the installer in text-only mode were incorrect. They advised running the installer wrongly using ''./Greenstone-3.06rc1-linux-x64 text-only'', which rather triggered the default behaviour of the installer software (antinstaller) for a different kind of text-only installation rather than triggering the Greenstone installer's specific -textonly mode. Unfortunately, the wrong route would not install the bundled JRE into the Greenstone installation, despite requiring the Greenstone user to run the ''java'' command in the very next step of the install.
