If you are having trouble starting BEAST and BEAUti by double-clicking on Windows it is probably
because you have more than one Java version installed. Make sure “java — version” reports version 1.8
and then follow these instructions
to start BEAUti and BEAST from the Command Prompt.
In windows, double clicking the jar file to start DensiTree. Or use the command line:
“java -jar DensiTree.jar”.
