How to Install ExBin on Ubuntu Server Latest

ExBin is a simple binary data serialization library built for Java. In this tutorial, we will show you the steps to install ExBin on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Requirements

• A machine running Ubuntu Server Latest
• A terminal with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Java

Before you can install ExBin, you need to install Java on your Ubuntu server. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install default-jre

This will install the default JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on your server.

Step 2: Download ExBin

Now that you have Java installed, you can download ExBin from the GitHub repository. To do this, use the git command:

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

This will create a new directory called exbin in your current working directory.

Step 3: Build ExBin

Next, navigate into the exbin directory and build ExBin with the gradle command:

cd exbin
./gradlew build

This will compile the ExBin source code and create a new .jar file in the build/libs directory.

Step 4: Test ExBin

To ensure that ExBin is functioning correctly, you can test it with a simple Java program. Create a new file called test.java in your working directory and add the following code:

import org.exbin.bined.BasicCodeArea;
import org.exbin.bined.swing.extended.ExtCodeArea;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class Test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
         ExtCodeArea codeArea = new ExtCodeArea();
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("ExBin Test");
         frame.getContentPane().add(new BasicCodeArea());
         frame.pack();
         frame.setVisible(true);
      });
   }
}

Save the file and then compile it with the following command:

javac -cp ".:exbin.jar" Test.java

This will compile the Test.java file and include the ExBin library in the classpath.

Finally, run the program with the following command:

java -cp ".:exbin.jar" Test

This will launch a window containing a basic code area, indicating that ExBin has been successfully installed.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed ExBin on your Ubuntu Server Latest machine. You can now use ExBin to serialize binary data in your Java projects.
