Installing ExBin on Fedora Server Latest

ExBin is an open-source binary editor and viewer written in Java. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install ExBin on a Fedora Server Latest machine.

Prerequisites

Before we jump into the installation process, you must have the following prerequisites:

• A system running Fedora Server Latest
• An active internet connection
• A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install JDK

ExBin is a Java-based application, and thus to run it, we need to have a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on the system. Run the following command to install OpenJDK:

sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

Verify the installation by running the following command:

java -version

This command should display the installed version of Java. It should look something like this:

openjdk version "1.8.0_292"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-b10)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)

Step 2: Install Maven

Maven is used to build and package ExBin. Run the following command to install Maven:

sudo dnf install maven

Verify the installation by running the following command:

mvn -version

This command should display the installed version of Maven. It should look something like this:

Apache Maven 3.6.3 
Maven home: /usr/share/maven 
Java version: 1.8.0_292, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.292.b10-0.fc33.x86_64/jre 
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 
OS name: "linux", version: "5.10.25-200.fc33.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

Step 3: Clone ExBin from Github

Now, let us clone the ExBin project from Github. Run the following command to clone it:

git clone https://github.com/m1dnight/exbin.git

Step 4: Build ExBin

We are ready to build ExBin. Navigate to the root directory of the cloned project using the following command:

cd exbin

Now, run the following command to build ExBin:

mvn package

This command will compile and package the code, and produce a jar file in the target directory. The jar file should look something like this: exbin-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.

Step 5: Run ExBin

We are now ready to run ExBin. Navigate to the target directory using the following command:

cd target

Execute the following command to run ExBin:

java -jar exbin-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

This command will start ExBin, and you should see the application interface.

Conclusion

We have successfully installed ExBin on a Fedora Server Latest machine. You can now use ExBin to edit and view binary files.
