You can run the following commands to download and run the Nifty examples from a commandline prompt. The commands given are for running the examples on Mac OS X but it should be easily modifiable to run under Windows and Linux as well.

# This runs the LWJGL example but you can use the same mechanism to run the examples for the
# other supported systems as well. Just swap-out the nifty-*-renderer jar.
cd /tmp
mkdir nifty-1.4.1
cd nifty-1.4.1
