cannot understand the 'getting started' instructions #32

Closed ven-u closed 3 years ago

ven-u commented 3 years ago

The instructions read: Just download the latest version, put the jar in a separate directory, and run it with java. 

Which jar file?  There is none in the root directory of the downloaded zip file.  Other documentation says "repeat.jar" but I can't find it anywhere....

Note that since Java 9, the jar file must be launched from a JDK (as opposed to a JRE) to be able to compile file. The workaround used in Java 8 and before to set Java home no longer works.

I'm running linuxmint 20.1. My java: 

$ java --version \ openjdk 11.0.10 2021-01-19 \ OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.10+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.04) \ OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.10+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Would appreciate some help with this. Repeat.jar may be easier for me than autokey.

Thanks

The jar file can be downloaded from https://github.com/repeats/Repeat/releases/latest. For example image

You can also download it from Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/repeat1/
