A cross-platform desktop client for the GEOFON Program GFZ Potsdam Earthquake Bulletin written in Java.

Download the latest release from the releases page.

• Windows: if you downloaded a ZIP package, simply unpack the archive; otherwise run the installer (EXE) to install the application.

  If the OS complains with a Windows protected your PC popup, you may need to click Run anyway to proceed with the installation.

  

  In order to enable the Run anyway button, you may need to open the Properties of the installer, tab General, section Security (if available), and tick the Unblock option.

  This workaround is required because the installer executables are not signed, as there are no free certificates I can use to sign them.

• Linux & macOS: unpack the archive.

This application requires Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) v1.8 (or newer) to run.

This package includes a port to Java of Bob Simpson's feregion.pl Perl script that returns Flinn-Engdahl Region names from decimal longitude & latitude values given on command line. You can recall this bonus program using the feregion executable located in the Earthquake Bulletin application folder.
