Outdated installation documentation #146

Closed hansenp closed 10 months ago

hansenp commented 1 year ago

The documentation in README.md is out of date, at least in section “Note to Macintosh users”. On an M2 Macintosh, I could not get the pre-built installation file for Isopret to work, even with Java versions lower or higher than 17.0.2. However, I tried it on an M2, but the README.md refers to M1.

Only after following the link PACKAGE in the "Note to Linux users" section, I was able to build a dmg file for Isopret using the documentation provided there, which I could then install and run. However, the version number in the dmg file name is specified incorrectly. I built it using version 1.0.1 but the name was: isopret-gui-1.0.0.dmg. By the way, the entire installation procedure also worked with Java 17.0.8, not just for 17.0.1.

I did not test installing Isopret on Linux.

This issue is related to Issue #127.

I have updated the README. We will need to test more widely but for now it seems the JAR file is working on Mac (M1/M2) and linux.
