How to Install JARR on EndeavourOS

JARR is a Java Archive Runtime and Runner that allows you to run Java applications without having to install the Java Development Kit (JDK). In this tutorial, we will show you how to install JARR on EndeavourOS.

Step 1: Install Java

Before you can install JARR, you need to have Java installed on your system. If you have not already installed Java, you can install it using the following command:

sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk

Step 2: Download JARR

You can download the JARR package from the official website at https://1pxsolidblack.pl/jarr-en.html.

Once downloaded, extract the JARR archive to a suitable location on your system.

Step 3: Configure JARR

After extracting the JARR archive, you need to configure the JARR environment variables. To do this, open the .bashrc file in your home directory using a text editor:

nano ~/.bashrc

Add the following lines at the bottom of the file:

export JARR_HOME=<path-to-jarr-directory>
export PATH=$PATH:$JARR_HOME/bin

Replace <path-to-jarr-directory> with the path to the directory where you extracted the JARR archive.

Save and close the .bashrc file.

Step 4: Test JARR

To test if JARR is installed correctly, open a terminal and enter the following command:

jarr -v

This should display the version of JARR that you have installed. If you see an error message, then JARR is not installed correctly, and you should review the previous steps.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed JARR on EndeavourOS.
