Running Jalview from the command line

-

Jalview is most easily run from the command line if you have built - it from source, or via the 'Jalview' executable created from the - InstallAnywhere jalview installation. Both of these mechanisms allow - true command line execution of jalview - allowing you to provide - additional options.

-The Java Webstart version of - jalview can be executed from the command line using something like - : - 

javaws http://www.jalview.org/webstart/jalview.jnlp -open
- yourFileName
- But, this is not guaranteed to work on all versions of webstart on all - operating systems, and doesn't let you execute Jalview with any - additional parameters. -

Running jalview from the InstallAnywhere - installation

-

If you install with InstallAnywhere you can use several more commands. - However, if you call the application with the link provided by InstallAnywhere - any output from the application will be sent to output.txt, not standard - out.
- The jalview application also requires a number of additional - libraries on the class path. The command line below adds the Jalview - installation's 'lib' directory to the list of directories that are - searched for jars to be added to the classpath:

-
java -Djava.ext.dirs=$INSTALL_DIR$/lib -cp $INSTALL_DIR$/jalview.jar jalview.bin.Jalview -open [FILE]
-

Use '-help' to get more information on the command line arguments that Jalview - accepts.
