Instructions

  1. Unless already installed, please install the Java Runtime Environment and the RXTX serial communications package before installing the jLog application.
     
  2. Log in as the preferred user and download the installer program that corresponds to the selected version of jLog.
     
  3. Make sure that the logged in user can reach the Java (JRE) previously installed by opening a Terminal window ("shell") and typing:

    $ echo $PATH
    Inspect the output. If Java is not found in the PATH, please enter (assuming that the Java JRE was placed in: '/usr/java/', substitute if different):
     

    $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.6.0_04/bin; export PATH
    $ echo $PATH
    Please verify that Java is found in the PATH by re-entering 'echo $PATH'

  4. After 4) above or in case 3) was unsuccessful, start the installation by typing:

    $ cd  <the directory where you placed the installer>
    $ sh ./install.bin or for jLog V 5: $ java -jar installer.jar
     
  5. To increase log capacity beyond 25000 - 30000 entries per file, you must change the Java VM properties.

  6. Note that the default UTF-8 environment in SuSE V 9+ must be changed to e.g. ISO-8859-1. See changing charset.
