For the moment the distribution is packaged as a zip file only - maybe
we will package as .exe too later. To use, download from the above
link, unzip retaining folder structure, and invoke via

java -jar studio.jar

The config file is automatically generated in
$HOME/.studioforkdb/studio.properties
