Using SPROG II with Operating Systems other than Windows

These instructions refer mainly to the Windows operating system but the same basic principles apply to other operating systems.

Should you have any questions during the installation process, please contact us using the link on the left (requires e-mail and internet connection), or separately send email to sprog@bbmgroup.com.

Using SPROG II with Linux

At the present time, as there are so many different versions of Linux, users of Linux are referred to the JMRI web pages for details of how to install and run the required software.

For convenience, copies of the JRE, communication libraries and DecoderPro are provided on the CD-ROM in the Linux directories. USB drivers for Linux are provided in the USB/Linux directory, along with installation instructions.

You are recommended to read through these instructions to see the flow of steps involved, and then apply these steps as required for your specific installation.
For Linux the flow is similar to portions of both Windows and MacOS:

  • install Java
  • install java Communications Libraries,RXTX
  • install JMRI
  • install USB drivers
  • run DecoderPro and set connection preferences
  • run DecoderPro and enjoy model railroading!
