Installation

Installation

Linux

1. In the Jump Pilot Project download OpenJUMP Platform Indipendent
2. The platform-independent version of OpenJUMP comes under the form of a compressed archive (ZIP). To install, decompress the archive in your hard drive, for example into c:/OpenJUMP
   You will see the following folder structure:
   • c:/OpenJUMP/
   • c:/OpenJUMP/bin
   • c:/OpenJUMP/lib
3. In the BIN folder there are the statup scripts for Linux/Unix: openjump-unix.sh or openjump.sh. There is an improved script for unix: openjump-unix2.sh
4. Eventually, to run OpenJUMP first make the startup script executable. For instance, if you want to use openjump.sh file, open the consolle and write:
   chmod +x openjump.sh
   (+x commmnd makes openjump script executable)
5. Run Openjump by consolle with this command:
   ./openjump.sh

A few notes about Linux installation:

1) The Java version to be run…
Linux Distros come with a open-source version of Java.
OpenJUMP will use that per default. Should one want to use Sun’s Java (recommended) some changes are necessary to the $JUMPHOME/bin/openjump-unix.sh script:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest/bin (usually there but distro-dependent—or wherever you’ve installed it)
The last line of the script (calling Java) should be like this:

$JAVA_HOME/java -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./log4j.xml -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -cp $CLASSPATH com.vividsolutions.jump.workbench.JUMPWorkbench -properties workbench-properties.xml -plug-in-directory $LIB/ext

2) Also be sure to correctly specify OpenJump’s installation folder in JUMPHOME.

MacOSX

1. open a terminal window
2. move to the “bin” folder (using “ls” and “cd” commands in the terminal)
3. if you arrived in the bin folder, openjump can be started by typing: “sh openjump.sh” and pressing enter

Windows

In the Jump Pilot Project it is possible to download two versions of OpenJUMP for windows:

OpenJUMP Win32 installer for Windows

• Download the OpenJUMP Win32 installer (EXE file). This is a setup file which automatizes the installation
• Run the file to setup OpenJUMP. The software will be installed in the computer and a new icon “OpenJUMP” will be created in the desktop to launch the program

OpenJUMP (ZIP file)

• Download the ZIP file and decompress it in a folder (e.g. OPENJUMP)
• In the folder OPENJUMP/BIN search for the files OpenJUMP.exe or OpenJUMP.bat which are used to launch the software
• eventually create a shortcut on the desktop for the launcher

OpenJUMP Nightly Build is basically the same version of OpenJUMP (ZIP file). See also Installation Instructions page
