Here are the webapp versions of the material on the website. The webapps run via a temporary webserver on your computer. When the program finishes, the webserver is removed.
The Windows version has been tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7. I have never used Windows Vista, but I expect that it will run OK. (Please let me know if you run it under Vista). Download the file ProtPure_Win.zip and extract the files to a folder. Open the folder and you will find the program file ProtPure.exe. Run it and the splash screen will appear and the local webserver will start. Then your browser will be started and you can run the web-based material locally - no internet connection is needed. When you close the browser, the webserver will stop and it will be removed from your computer.
The OS X version has the web-based material enclosed within an OS X application. It has been tested on OS X Snow Leopard and Lion. Download the file ProtPure_OSX.zip. Double click on the icon and it should unzip to give you the OS X application ProtPure_OSX. You can run it from any folder, but it would probably be best to put it in your Applications folder. When you run the application, the web-based material will appear in its own browser. Again, no internet connection is needed.
The Linux version is primarily intended for use on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Squeeze or Raspian Wheezy, though it may work on other platforms and distros that have Python 2.6 or later installed and a browser with full Javascript support. Download the file ProtPure_Linux.zip. Unzip it in your home folder. You should get a folder/directory called rasp_pi_pp and a shell script called ProtPure. Ensure that the ProtPure script has execute permissions. When you run it, a temporary webserver will start, the default browser (Midori on the Raspberry Pi Debian distro) will start and the application will load. This can be quite a slow process, so be patient. When you close the browser, the webserver will be stopped. Again, no internet connection is needed.
If the ProtPure script doesn't work, then try this:
Open a terminal window, cd to the directory containing the ProtPure script, and type the following three commands:
cd rasp_pi_pp
python -m SimpleHTTPServer &
xdg-open http://0.0.0.0:8000/index.html
If you manage to run this version on other flavours of Linux, please let me know and I'll update this page.
