Installing JARR on Manjaro

JARR is a tool to manage and organize your music library. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing JARR on Manjaro:

Step 1: Install OpenJDK

JARR requires OpenJDK to run. You can install it using the following command in the terminal:

sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk

Step 2: Download JARR

Download the latest version of JARR from the official website.

Step 3: Extract the Archive

Extract the downloaded archive file to a directory of your choice. For example, you can extract it to your home directory by running the following command:

tar -xzf jarr-X.Y.Z.tar.gz -C ~/

Replace X.Y.Z with the version number of the downloaded archive.

Step 4: Run JARR

Navigate to the extracted directory and run jarr.sh script to start JARR:

cd ~/jarr-X.Y.Z
./jarr.sh

Optional step: Create a desktop shortcut

To create a desktop shortcut for JARR, create a file called jarr.desktop in your desktop directory and add the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=JARR
Exec=/home/USER/jarr-X.Y.Z/jarr.sh
Icon=/home/USER/jarr-X.Y.Z/res/icon.png
Terminal=false

Replace /home/USER/jarr-X.Y.Z with the path to the extracted JARR directory.

After creating the file, make it executable by running the following command in the terminal:

chmod +x ~/Desktop/jarr.desktop

Now you should be able to run JARR by double-clicking the desktop shortcut.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed JARR on Manjaro!
