Notes for Linux users

The examples in this document are shown for Linux. We assume the Jtrix binary directory (the one with all the JAR files and scripts) is on our system path. If not, then this is easily fixed. Assuming the Jtrix binary directory is /usr/lib/jtrix we just enter this line in the bash shell:


export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jtrix

Those with a Debian or RPM distribution will find jnode and launcher on their PATH anyway.

Please also make sure your JAVA_HOME is set properly; please consult your particular Java distribution if you are unsure about this.

Finally, note that the version of Jtrix discussed here is not necessarily compatible with previous versions, so please check you have the latest version. In particular, if you are interacting with a service outside your local environment, such as one at http://www.jtrix.org, then different versions are not guaranteed to be compatible. Jtrix.org will always be running the latest version. This will continue until a 1.0 release, although we will of course try to minimise this as much as possible.

If you have any problems, check out the troubleshooting tips in Appendix [*] or drop us a note via the Sourceforge mailing lists. See at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtrix.
