DataWarrior was developed in the Java programming language and needs a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to work. All installers on this side include the Liberica OpenJRE 21.0.2 from BellSoft. Thus, there is no need to install any Java software yourself.
Important: For updating an older version of DataWarrior: First, if you have added files to the 'datawarrior' installation folder (macros, data files, plugins, etc), then move them to a save place. Then uninstall the old DataWarrior version (Linux: run uninstall.sh; Macintosh: drag DataWarrior from the Application folder into the trash bin; Windows: in the Control Panel search 'software', find 'uninstall', uninstall 'DataWarrior', and make sure that 'C:\Program Files\DataWarrior' is removed). Then, download the new installer for your operating system and install DataWarrior as described below. Finally, move any rescued macros, data files, and plugins back into their original directories inside the datawarrior folder.
Note: When you launch the freshly installed DataWarrior application, you may get a message that an update is available asking for permission to install the latest update. This is expected, because DataWarrior over-the-air updates are released more frequently than the installers for manual installation. It is recommended to update once an update is available.
