- Running and Installation
- - ------------- -------- - ---------------- -- - - - - - -
-
- 1. - Installation - -
-
- Unarchive your respective jIRC archive file. Copy the files where ever
- you want them.
-
- 2. -- Which Java to Use - -
-
- You need to have the Java 1.4.2 (or later) runtime environment. To
- obtain this just visit http://www.java.com, find the Get Java now
- button and download the appropriate JRE for your operating system.
-
- You do not need to download the software development kit, just the runtime
- environment.
-
- Note: jIRCii also works with Java 1.5.
-
- 3. - - Running jIRCii --
-
- Once the runtime environment is installed you just need to simply
- launch jIRC.
-
- To do this from a commandline you can type: java -jar jerk.jar
-
- === Command Line Options ===
-
- jIRC has a -settings command line option. This is for specifying
- where your settings files are located:
-
- java -jar jerk.jar -settings c:\mystuff\jirc\
-
- jIRCii also has a -lnf command line option. This is for specifying the
- desired Java look and feel to use with jIRCii:
-
- java -jar jerk.jar -lnf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel
-
- You can also specify an irc:// URL on the jIRCii command line to specify
- a irc server and channel you want jIRCii to join on startup:
-
- java -jar jerk.jar irc://irc.freenode.net/jircii
-
- === Windows ===
-
- The Windows distribution of jIRCii comes with a jircii.exe file. You
- can use this to launch jIRCii and pass any of the above command line
- arguments to jIRCii.
-
- === Mac OS X ===
-
- If you have the Mac OS X specific archive of jIRCii just double click
-
- jIRCii.app
-
- 4. -- Upgrading --
-
- If you are upgrading from an older version of jIRCii and you are
- experiencing problems you may want to delete your jIRCii settings.
-
- Your jIRCii settings are located in your home directory under the folder
- ".jIRC".
-
- On a UNIX system your home directory is typically /home/<your-user-id>
- On MacOS X your home directory is typically /Users/<your-user-id>
-
- On Windows your home directory may appear in
- c:\documents and settings\<your-user-id>
-
- Delete the ".jIRC" folder. jIRCii will then recreate this folder with new
- preferences next time you run jIRCii.
