Installer

The GenJ installer is a platform independent Java Archive that can be executed if your system's prerequisites are met. It includes the basic application, optional views and help and resources for all supported languages.

Please follow these steps to install GenealogyJ:

  • double-click on the installer (you might have to run “java -jar genj_install-2.4.5.jar”)
  • follow the setup process and confirm where prompted
  • run GenealogyJ through the shortcut in your Start menu (windows only) or by double-clicking on run.jar in the installation folder (you might have to run one of the platform-dependent start scripts: run.sh, run.bat or run.cmd)

Modules

GenealogyJ can be run by downloading individual modules:

  • download (right click and SaveAs) genj_app-2.4.5.zip
  • unzip the archive into a directory making sure the directory structure stays intact (e.g. /opt/genj or c:\Program Files\GenJ)
  • run one of the start-scripts (run.sh, run.bat or run.cmd - some platforms will also successfully start GenJ when double-clicking on run.jar)

The following modules are optional (unzip into same directory as above);

Unstable/Nightlies

To accomodate users who want to follow the latest developement untested but more recent builds are provided here. Please use at your own risk, backup your data and report observations/problems to the Forum.

Troubleshooting

If you can't get GenJ to run as described please follow these steps:

  • verify that a 1.5 compatible (or newer) Java Virtual Machine is installed (output should look similar):
   C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_17\bin>java -version
   java version "1.5.0_17"
   Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_17-b04)
   Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode)
  • make sure that a Java executable is on your system's executable-path (needed by run-scripts)
  • as a last resort post genj.log (find it in your home directory ~) to the forum with a description of the problem you're seeing
