Antichess solved engine

I just want to ask since I don't understand about code and how to run code, especially for antichess solved engine. So, I found this link about antichess/losing chess and I want to run the program as it said in the links, but I was stucked on the last command about running java applet with java winning GUI. I couldn't find any solution on youtube, so maybe someone here could help me, thank you.

this is the study link

That is not a program, its just a directory of moves I think. Normally SCID should run those files as an opening book, but I haven't found any way to do so. You can ask @tolius about how he did it, as his engine @anti-bot uses Watkins Solution for lvl 9.

If you want to view the solution, tolius has made a study of the Watkins Lines:


There is an online solution browser too, which shows all the solved lines in Antichess:
antichess.onrender.com
You can run it with this command (with your paths to java.exe and solution file):
"C:\here\is\your\path\to\java.exe" WinningGUI "C:\LOSING_CHESS\e3wins.rev4"
