Installation

You will need to have Java 8 or later installed to run Amidstest. If you don't already have it, it can be downloaded here

Windows

Save the .exe file somewhere, and launch that directly.

Linux

Save the .jar file somewhere (and make it executable).

If the UI doesn't automatically know how to launch .jar files, you can use the command

java -jar amidstest-*.jar

If you get a version error when attempting to run it, such as "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: amidst/Amidst : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0", then you need to update Java. Java JRE 8 may even be newer than the version available in your distro's package manager, I installed it this way:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt update
sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer

However search engines will bring up plenty of other pages describing the best way to obtain it for your distro.

OSX

Save the .jar file somewhere.

<OSX users, please edit this page and add anything noteworthy you had to do to run Amidstest>
