Step 1: Click on this button to download mesquiteInstall.exe. Save this file to a folder on your computer.
Step 2: Run the mesquiteInstaller. This will create the file structure for the Mesquite Program and put the Mesquite icon in the Start menu. The folder "Mesquite_Folder" will be created in the directory you specify.

Step 3: Click on this button to download mesquite.zip. Save this file to your computer.
Step 4: Open the mesquite.zip file and extract all zipped files to a directory on your computer. This will create a folder called "Put_in_Mesquite_Folder" and will automatically put the zipped files in this folder.

Step 5: Copy all the files/folders in the "Put_in_Mesquite_Folder" to the "Mesquite_Folder". At this point you should be able to start the Mesquite program by going to the start menu and clicking on the Mesquite icon.

Tree Set Visualization (UT Austin & Lehman College,CUNY)

Step 6:Click on this button to download the tree set visualization module. Save this file to your computer.
Step 7:The treecomp_2.1.tar.gz is a zipped file. Open this file and extract the files to a directory. This will create a folder called "treecomp2.1" and will automatically put the zipped files in this folder.

Step 8: Copy the treecomp folder, which is in the treecomp_2.1/classfiles/ directory and paste it in the folder "Mesquite_Folder/mesquite" . These are the class files and the Tree Set Visualization Module should be able to run at this point.

Step 9:For the source files, copy the source folder in the treecomp_2.1/ directory. You can put the source anywhere, but it might be better to rename the folder(eg. treecompSource) and then save it in the Mesquite_Folder/mesquite directory.

2. compile at folder level and place class files in their directory
