Prerequisites for the Command Line Interface

You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. Either set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the path of your JDK installation or add the path of the java executable to the PATH environment variable.

The command line interface requires JDK 9 or higher. It is recommended to use JDK 21 or higher to take advantage of using virtual threads instead of platform threads.

Installing the Command Line Interface

To install the command line interface, download the archive, extract the archive, and add its bin directory to the PATH environment variable.

Here are the following detailed steps:

1. Download the binary distribution archive.

2. Extract the archive in any directory. Use one of the following commands depending on the archive:

   tar xvf jargyle-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.bz2
   

   tar xzvf jargyle-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.tar.gz
   

   unzip jargyle-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip
   

3. Add the bin directory of the created directory jargyle-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT to the PATH environment variable.

4. In a new shell, enter the following command to confirm installation:

   jargyle -V
   

   The result should look similar to the following:

   Jargyle CLI 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT
   

   The result confirms that the command line interface is now installed.
