Preliminary
For oStorybook to function you must have Java installed, (minimum version 1.8.0_45.). However, the use of Java 11, or even 17, did not show any difficulty.
For Windows users
- Download the exe file, with name oStorybook-X.y.z.exe (X,y.z indicate the version)
- Start the installation by running this file (Double click on this file to start the installation)
For Mac OS X users
- Download the tar.gz file and commence installation in the usual way

For any Debian based systems:
- Download file oStorybook-X.y.z.deb;
- Open a terminal window and run the usual installation command
sudo dpkg -i oStorybook-X.y.z.deb
- Check that a shortcut has been created on your Desktop (if you are using Gnome). If not, make a shortcut using your usual method.
The ArchLinux community will provide standard packaging for their system: see here
For other Linux distributions, or in case of difficulties, use this method of installing the Zip file:
- Download the file oStorybook-X.y.z.zip.
- Extract its content into a local folder (I recommend naming the folder oStorybook, for easy identification)
- Check that the file oStorybook.jar or Storybook.jar is in that folder.
- Use the .bat or .sh file to build the correct program launcher for your operating system
