Chapter 6. Console Application
Prev | Part II. Plug-ins | Next
## Chapter 6. Console Application The Console application provides a powerful command line interface for Jalopy. ## 6.1. Installation Explains the steps involved to install the Console Plug-in. #### 6.1.1. System requirements See Section 1.1, “System requirements” for the basic requirements to run Jalopy. #### 6.1.2. Installation The Plug-in comes either as a single `.zip` or compressed `.tar` file. Unzipping either one of these files into a directory of your choice (referred to as `<INST_DIR>`) will produce three subdirectories `/bin`, `/docs` and `/lib`.
    ..
      bin/       contains wrapper scripts for different platforms
      docs/      contains the documentation
      lib/       contains all necessary libraries
Wrapper scripts are provided for the common platforms, so you may want to add the `/bin` folder to your path. If your platform is not covered you should make use of the `-jar` option of the Java application launcher (the java -jar command), since this requires no classpath manipulation. If you don't want to use the `-jar` option, you have to add the `.jar` files as usual to your classpath. For the Unix Bash shell, this means can be achieved using
    export CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:<INST_DIR>/lib/jalopy-console-<version>.jar
For Windows, use something like
    set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<INST_DIR>\lib\jalopy-console-<version>.jar
Refer to your system documentation on how to apply these changes more permanently.
