1. Using Opera or Mozilla browser
2. Using Internet Explorer on Linux with CrossOver/Wine

Download and install the latest stable version from www.mozilla.org/download.html or www.opera.com
Our users have successfully employed both Mozilla 1.4.3 and Opera 8.51, and both work fine.

You'll need this to enable your browser to play multimedia applications. Download it from http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html and install it.

Download and install RealPlayer10GOLD.bin from www.real.com/linux.
After installation make sure that "realplay" application is in your executable path. You can do this by setting the $PATH environment variable in your ${HOME}/.cshrc or ${HOME}/.bashrc, whichever the case may be.
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/what-ever-path/RealPlayer

Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Enable JavaScript
Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Enable plug-ins

Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins -> Enable JavaScript for -> Navigator

For Opera, go to Tools -> Advanced -> Plug-ins and check for the following entries -

If you get an error saying "You must install a media player ..." (in case of Mozilla) or "Your browser is not compatible ..." (in case of Opera), just click "OK" and move on. Your demo should play anyway.

(For Opera, make sure you have selected Tools -> Quick preferences -> Identify as Opera or
Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Browser Identification -> Identify as Opera)

Now, you should see a RealPlayer window come up in which your selected Demo will play.

If you get an error message saying "Plugger: No appropriate application for type text/html found" then you'll need to add the appropriate MIME entry for your browser.

For Opera, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Downloads. Unselect "Hide file types opened with Opera". Now look for "text/html" under MIME type. If no entry is present, then make a new entry. It should read as -

MIME type	text/html
File extensions	html, htm, shtml, ehtml

Select "Open with Opera"

For Mozilla, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Helper Applications. Look for "text/html" under "File types". If no entry is present, then make a new entry. It should read as -

MIME type	text/html
Description	HyperText Markup Language
Extension	html, htm, shtml, ehtml
Open it with	Mozilla

You can get this from www.codeweavers.com.

You can get Windows Media Player 10 from www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia. If this does not work for you try an older version, say 7.1 or 6.4. You can get these older versions from here. Install it using Wine.
