⚠ :

Bila Java belum terinstalasi dengan tepat, nantinya akan selalu muncul error message
ketika akan memulai program aplikasi Panoply.
2. Melakukan uncompress file yang telah di-download dengan menentukan pula
folder/direktori yang akan digunakan.
3. Setelah melakukan ekstraksi (sesuai poin 2), akan didapatkan hasil sebagai

Kemudian pelajari file teks README untuk mengetahui deskripsi Panoply,

termasuk panduan cara launching Panoply serta informasi penting lainnya.

Folder jars berisikan file-file kode aplikasi yang diperlukan untuk visualisasi

direktori/folder dengan panoply.exe. 

Sedangkan panoply.exe digunakan untuk memulai program aplikasi Panoply.
4. Untuk memulai, lakukan double-click panoply.exe, sehingga aplikasi Panoply akan
terbuka dan pada tahap ini Panoply sudah siap digunakan untuk loading dataset.
