I'm running my first Oly meet next week and am trying to give my athletes the best experience possible. I was at the Brooklyn Babell Open and was very impressed with the software. I'm at a roadblock. When I launch it I get an error "The Java JAR file "owlcms-2.20.3.1.war" could not be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages." I have attached a screen shot of the console as the info in it does not mean much to me. Any suggestions on what I need to do? Thanks! T

Kindly follow the instructions for a Mac at https://owlcms2.sourceforge.io/#!Setup.md

You may also need a bit of background on setting up the equipment

Also Tomcat can no longer be found in the AppStore

And instead has to be downloaded from here

First meet under my belt! Thank you for the help and sharing the software! I'm already thinking about how i can make it better next time. I used a basic set up, projecting the announcer screen onto a wall. I would like to add more displays and was looking in to use a Raspberry Pi 3B and in the networking guide there is the following link, but it is currently dead: 


Any suggestions where I should go? 

Thank you again!
