Installation instructions

Open carladosanjos opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

Is there any description of installation instruction or constraints regarding Java environment configuration? I could not find any in the README.

Many thanks.

Carla

lichee comes with precompiled .jar file so no installation of lichee is required. If you want, you can just download the .jar file from release directly. Or just type:

git clone https://github.com/viq854/lichee

now you can run lichee as:

java -jar lichee/LICHeE/release/lichee.jar

I was getting weird java errors, but I figured out that it is because this binary was compiled for Java 8 and crashes on newer versions (tested with 11 and 12). If you are running Ubuntu, install java 8:

sudo apt install openjdk-8*

and change your java version with:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

Change the stuff back when you have finished with lichee coz some other stuff that requires a newer version of Java might be now broken.
