- <!-- for jEdit: :mode=html:indentSize=2:tabSize=2:noTabs=true: -->
- <p>To find out which Java virtual machine is best for your Unix flavor,
- see the <a href="index.php?page=compatibility">compatibility</a> page.<p>
- <p>To install jEdit, enter the following in a command line window
- (<b>xterm</b>, <b>konsole</b>, etc):</p>
- <pre>cd <i>directory where you downloaded the JAR file</i>
- java -jar <i>filename</i>.jar</pre>
- <p>For example, if you downloaded <code>jedit41install.jar</code>
- into <code>~/Downloads</code>,
- you would enter:</p>
- <pre>cd Downloads
- java -jar jedit41install.jar</pre>
- <p>If for whatever reason
- you want to start the installer in text-only mode, specify
- <code>text</code> as the last parameter on the command line. In text only mode,
- the installer will not display it's GUI, and instead it will ask
- questions in the command line window.</p>
- <p>Once jEdit is installed, run the <code>jedit</code> command to start
- jEdit.</p>
