| | +## Java archive |
| | + |
| | +For users who opt to use the Java archive directly, the application must be run |
| | +using a version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) **{{version.java}}** that |
| | +bundles JavaFX. For example, use **Liberica Full JRE** from BellSoft as |
| | +follows: |
| | + |
| | +1. Visit the Liberica JDK [download page](https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/). |
| | +1. Select the JDK corresponding to **{{version.java}}**. |
| | +1. Scroll down to the desired operating system. |
| | +1. Change the target CPU architecture, if needed. |
| | +1. Set **Package** to: `Full JRE`. |
| | +1. Download the `.zip` or `.tar.gz` file. |
| | + |
| | +After downloading the JRE, install it and make sure Java can be found when |
| | +run. On Unix systems, my preferred installation method follows: |
| | + |
| | +1. Edit `$HOME/.bashrc`. |
| | +1. Add `export JAVA_HOME="/opt/jre"`. |
| | +1. Update `PATH` to include `export PATH="$PATH:${HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"`. |
| | +1. Save the file. |
| | +1. Install into `/opt/jre-{{version.java}}-full` and link to `/opt/jre`: |
| | + ``` bash |
| | + sudo su - |
| | + cd /opt |
| | + JAVA_DIR="jre-{{version.java}}-full" |
| | + mkdir "${JAVA_DIR}" |
| | + tar xf bellsoft-jre{{version.java}}-linux-amd64-full.tar.gz \ |
| | + -C "${JAVA_DIR}" --strip-components=1 |
| | + ln -sf "${JAVA_DIR}" jre |
| | + ``` |
| | + |
| | +Pointing the symbolic link `/opt/jre` to `/opt/jre-{{version.java}}-full` |
| | +enables upgrading the JRE without having to update the `.bashrc` for each |
| | +new version. |
| | + |
| | ## Automatic |
| | |
 |
| | 1. Rename `localpath.bat.txt` to `localpath.bat`, if necessary. |
| | 1. Run `localpath.bat` (to set and save the `PATH` environment variable). |
