Currently, the Windows installer requires admin. This means it isn't possible to use the installer to install Tracker on school computers.
The installer should be changed so that it doesn't require admin.
As a demonstration that this is possible, see below.
Manual workaround:
We manually create the installation structure.
To install & run Tracker v6.3.3:
- Install Java 25. For example, installing Adoptium JDK 25 for your local user does the trick.
- Download tracker-6.3.3.jar from the Tracker homepage.
- Download xuggle-xuggler-server-all.jar, logback-classic.jar, logback-core.jar, and slf4j-api.jar from the Tracker repository.
- With all files in the same folder, open the Terminal app (cmd), navigate to where you downloaded the two files (for example, type
cd Downloads), then run java -cp "xuggle-xuggler-server-all.jar;logback-classic.jar;logback-core.jar;slf4j-api.jar" -jar tracker-6.3.3.jar to start the app.
