Lucid Phoenix is a full cross platform application written in Java. To see the Lucid Phoenix Player within a web page you need to have the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed. Lucid Phoenix needs JVM 1.4.2 or greater to work correctly. This is available free of charge from Sun Microsystems at http://www.java.com.

Note: Macintosh users need to use their system update utility or visit the Apple website to obtain the JVM.

The web browser you choose to view the page containing the Lucid Phoenix Player needs to be compatible with the JVM, fortunately this includes most modern versions of web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
