to the desired installation drive.
Run the following commands:

export JAVA_HOME=/your/jdk/directory // sets the JDK environment variable
tar xvzf syscon_0.0.1.5.tar.gz // unpacks the syscon tar file
cd syscon/src/build // changes to the syscon build directory
ant // compiles the source code
ant install // installs the Syscon and Merlot libraries
ant run // starts the Merlot XML Editor
After the Merlot XML Editor launches successfully,
close the editor by choosing File->Quit.
