>>About
The JEDI Visual Component Library (JVCL) consists of a large collection (currently ca 500) visual and non-visual components which can be instantly reused in your Delphi, Kylix and C++ Builder projects.
The library is built upon code donated from the JEDI community. It is reformatted to achieve a common look-and-feel, tested, documented and merged into the library. The library is grouped into several categories such as Enhanced Standard, Visual, Non-Visual, Data Aware and many, many more. The library is released to the public under the terms of the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and as such can be freely used in both freeware, shareware, open source and commercial projects.
Source code files included in the JVCL have a header which explicitly states the license (as is required). However, unless noted otherwise, all files, including those without an MPL header, are subject to the MPL license.

Check below as was unpacking the file in my root directory:
P.S: Because I have already installed the component before you will see the pastes already uncompressed.
After unzipping the files process. Let's follow the step-by-step installation of the component itself. The installation should be made as follows and in the following order: The "JCL" folder should be installed first and then the "JVCL" folder. Check out the images below:
.. Within the "JCL" folder, there is a 'Install' file which should be executed As this is done, the installation screen will appear JEDI JCL Check out the images below:
Inside the installer, we have 4 tabs. The first tab, "Testing JCL 2.6 Build 5178", which is the description of what the component will be installed, with all its updates, manuals, support settings, ... etc.. The second tab, "MPL 1.1 License," where is located the license to use this component. For, despite being open source, the JEDI it is maintained by a community that values its tool and safe kill. And the next two tabs, the tabs are respectively the facilities of JCL for XE5 XE5 32-bit and 64-bit. All two tabs will already be configured (checked) by default installation, you only need to check that accepts the installation license and agree to the rules.

", and you can confirm the button" Yes ". Another question that will appear during the installation: "Do you want to keep JCL expert settings?" You also confirm the "Yes" button. If any questions appear as random, "The JCL HPP files fail to compile, continue anyway?" Can also confirm the "Yes" button. After all this process, the final will be shown a message: "Installation Finished". Check out the images below:
Once installation of the JCL, proceed to the second step, the installation of "JVCL". The "JVCL" folder has a file titled, "Install", you will open and he will submit the application for the installation of all the component design. Check out the following images:
Soon the last image above, we see the executable from 3:48 JVCL installation, selecting a new installation or upgrade from an older version, in our case, will be a new version. We click on the "Next" button to proceed with the installation. In the next tab, appears selected, the two architectures RAD Studio XE5 for both 32-bit and 64-bit, after this, just click "Next."

And that is done you will click "Finish".
To take the course, open RAD Studio Delphi XE5 and make sure the JEDI is being loaded at startup of the IDE, after initializing a new application and test putting some of its components within a form and run, if all goes well. The installation was successful.
