or if you have any problems, use the basic procedure with the Zip file:

  1. Download the oStorybook-X.yz.zip.
  2. Extract this file into a local directory (I recommend creating this directory with the name oStorybook, so that you can identify it more easily).
  3. Look for the oStorybook.jar or Storybook.jar file in this directory.
  4. Take inspiration from the .bat or .sh file to build your own launcher.
