Installing on ubuntu

[savagesam93]

Can anyone give me tips on how to install diylc on ubuntu? Ive been trying for a little while and am having trouble.

I create a folder in my /home/michael folder called "diylc" and extract the contents of the downloads I edit the run.sh file to this:  (please note I am on a 32-bit laptop that is really old) cd '/home/michael/diylc' java -splash:splash.png -Xms64m -Xmx256m -Dorg.diylc.scriptRun=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -cp diylc.jar:lib org.diylc.DIYLCStarter to launch from the desktop I created this file called DIYLC and put it on the desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=DIYLC Comment= Exec='/home/michael/diylc/run.sh' Icon=/home/michael/diylc/splash.png Path= Terminal=false StartupNotify=false The splash screen shows up as a nice icon. Change michael to the name of your <user> folder obviously. I also deleted the Windows files. Hope this helps Michael  On 1/30/19 3:26 PM, savagesam93 wrote:

Tried what editing the run.sh file and when i run it i see the splash screen pop up briefly before getting this message

/home/rowsdower/diylc/run.sh: line 3: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8: command not found

first, make a copy of your run.sh file.

then replace the contents of the original run.sh to the below and see if it starts up for you.

java -cp diylc.jar:lib org.diylc.DIYLCStarter

I am having a similar issue, but I instead receive the error Could not find or load main class org.diylc.DIYLCSTARTER

Tried to edit run.sh as suggested in the previous comments.

this is a path error. you are using ubuntu or some linux type enviornment correct? assuming you placed the diylc zip in the Downloads directory off your home, open a command terminal and run the following commands (adjust for your directory location and the release version if needed).

cd Downloads
mkdir diy
cd diy
unzip ../diylc-3.54.0.zip
chmod 744 run.sh
./run.sh

if you get an error, type the following command in the terminal instead of ./run.sh. this should only be done for testing purposes.

java -cp diylc.jar:lib org.diylc.DIYLCStarter

if neither of these methods work, please post the errors.

I've realized the error- I was downloading something called the diy-layout-creator-master (which, I'm guessing is the archive used for building?) rather than the plain ol' latest release archive, so run.sh was having an issue pointing to the correct path. Thanks for your assistance, all is working fine now.

I used to supply a Debian (.deb) package for DIYLC, this is a software package which is installed by a double-click on a Debian-based system. It was available on GetDeb which was an unofficial repository, but that appears to have changed hands and become unusable now. I have a deb for version 3.56.0 - if you want it just email me with my username here followed by (at)ymail.com.

I had the same " -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8: command not found" error. I figured it out though and feel silly. Lines two and three need to be one line. IE, it should read like this:

cd '/home/michael/diylc'
java -splash:splash.png -Xms64m -Xmx256m -Dorg.diylc.scriptRun=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -cp diylc.jar:lib org.diylc.DIYLCStarter
