Install Java

From Bibledit

Choose the "Linux (self extracting file)", which gives a file called jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin in the home directory, or a higher version.

  • Open a terminal.
  • In the terminal, to verify the package is there, type
ls
  • To install the package, type
sh jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin
  • Agree to the license and complete installing Java.

Make a note of the directory where Java got installed. In this case this is

~/jr1.5.0_04

In Bibledit, under menu Preferences, Formatter, enter the directory where Java is installed. Ensure to give the full path, by using the Open button. The full path, if the instructions have been followed is usually the <home directory>/jr1.5.0_04, for example /home/joe/jr1.5.0_04

Note Some Linux distributions come with their own version of Java installed. It may be quite a hassle to find out where this version of Java has been installed, and so it may be difficult to fill in the directory in Bibledit. In case you encounter trouble to find that directory, it will be easier to just download the Java version as described above, and install it following the instructions. And moreover, the GNU Compiler for Java, GCJ, is not enough for XEP. Hence, if this version comes with your Linux distribution, you still need to install the one from Sun.
