 ===== Installing CAPRI Stable Release 2 and earlier =====
-CAPRI Stable Release (STAR) 2 and earlier releases are published with a full set of data, i.e. including all the intermediate data required to build the complete database and produce a calibrated baseline. The model with raw data and the consolidated model database are shipped in two compressed archives. For the latest release, STAR 2.7, they are called "STAR_2.7.zip" and "results_2.7.zip" respectively, and with similar naming pattern for other releases. Follow the steps below in order to install CAPRI on your system. Using CAPRI requires extensive knowledge of how the system works. Please look out for CAPRI training courses on the page of upcoming events. The following bare-bone instructions may nevertheless be sufficient to get the system up and technically running.

 ==== 3. Extract the files to a local hard drive ====
-  - Create an installation folder to hold **model source files** on your local hard drive such that the path does not contain spaces. Thus, it will not work to install the model in “My Documents” (path containing space) or on a network drive (the access will be too slow). We call this the "CAPRI system folder". We assume here you created a folder ''C:/CAPRI/STAR_2.7''.

 CAPRI requires that you have a windows computer with Java and GAMS ([[http://www.gams.com]], distribution 32.2 or later is recommended) installed. You need a license for the CONOPT solver. Many tasks in CAPRI utilize parallel computing. It is therefore an advantage if you have a machine that can run many threads in parallel.
 Regarding Java: There are some licensing implications when using Oracle's platform. Public updates released after January 2019 will not be available for business, commercial, or production use without a commercial license. Since then the GUI for java can also be executed using a open and free installation of [[https://jdk.java.net/15/|OpenJDK]].
+Note: From Star 2.8 java is embedded in star2.8.zip. There is no additional installation of java JRE necessary.

 The current batch execution file (STAR 2.7) does not take over the path to your GAMS installation as entered in the settings dialogue during installation, but you will have to open the text file and enter the appropriate path manually.

 already in various projects, but the modifications need to be consolidated and integrated into a maintenance release. Similar improvements have accumulated
 in the areas of market model tariff data and greenhouse gas emissions, also foreseen to be integrated in a future maintenance release, after thorough testing.
