Building Jalview from Source

+

What you will need

+

The method here is described in terms of using a command line. You can easily do this on linux or in a Terminal window in macOS. You can do it in Windows.

+ +

Java 11 JDK

+

We recommend obtaining an OpenJDK JDK 11 from AdoptOpenJDK: https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot, either the Installer or .zip/.tar.gz variants whichever you prefer (if you’re not sure, choose the Installer).

+

gradle and git

+

You should be able to install the latest (or close to the latest) versions of gradle and git using your OS package manager.

+

For macOS we recommend using brew, which can be installed following the instructions at https://brew.sh/. After installing brew, open a Terminal window and type in (using an Administrator privileged user): brew install gradle git or brew upgrade gradle git if you already have them installed but need to upgrade the version.

+

For linux this will depend on which distribution you’re using. For debian based distributions (e.g. Mint, Ubuntu, Debian) run sudo apt-get install gradle git whilst for RPM-based distributions run (probably) sudo yum install gradle git If you have some other version of linux you’ll probably be able to work it out!

+

For Windows users, you might do well by using the Chocolatey package manager. See install instructions at https://chocolatey.org/, and you will just need choco install gradle git Alternatively, you could install a real bash shell and install both gradle and git through apt-get. Another alternative would be to install them separately following the instructions at https://gradle.org/install/, and for git here are a couple of suggestions: Git for Windows https://gitforwindows.org/ or a real bash-shell https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/bash-on-ubuntu-on-windows-download-now-3/ !
