As of vZome 6.0 build 22, we will now be shipping a Linux version of vZome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a simpler distribution than either the Mac or Windows variant, since it does not include its own Java Runtime Environment. It is simply a ZIP file. Unzip it and you will find bin<\/strong> and lib<\/strong> folders. In the bin<\/strong> folder, you will find the launch script, named “vZome-6.0”.<\/p>\n

If you have not installed Java on your Linux machine, you will see something like this when you run the script:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can download the JRE from Oracle<\/a>. You’ll end up with a file like “jre-8u162-linux-x64.tar.gz”. Assuming the file was saved to your Downloads folder, you can unpack it as follows:<\/p>\n

cd ~\/Downloads
\ntar xzvf jre-8u162-linux-x64.tar.gz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will leave you with a folder named ~\/Downloads\/jre1.8.0_162. To enable the vZome launch script, all you have to do is set the JAVA_HOME environment variable appropriately, before running the script:<\/p>\n

export JAVA_HOME=~\/Downloads\/jre1.8.0_162<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We won’t be providing many guarantees about this distribution, since we don’t have the time to do a lot of testing on Linux. I have a virtual machine running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I did some basic sanity testing of vZome 6.0 build 22. Most features seem to work fine, but there is a nasty bug associated with article mode. Since the first thing you see will be the “quick-start” article, this bug may cause a crash right away. Launch vZome again, and you’ll end up with a new document; if you stay out of article mode thereafter, you should be OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
