Installing Jedit system wide??
Submitted by sunking on Thursday, 2 February, 2006 - 19:43
I want to install Jedit in a system wide state, would I install to '/usr/local/bin'??
Right now it's installed in my local home folder so only I can start it.
Which is fine but I have to 'cd' into my home folder and do java -jar jedit.jar everytime.
Ideally I like to add it to my start menu and just click to start, which I know
I can do, (at least I think I can), Just want to know if there are any specail parameters
I need to add when i install?
example: should I just change the default install to /usr/local/bin??

run the installer as root.

run the installer as root.

jEdit should then default to install at /usr/local - the installer will put man pages, share files, and copy link to launcher to the right places for system wide use.

Keep in mind your root user isn't likely to have a proper java config so don't do a new login as root, login as yourself and make sure your java environment is setup as you want then just use su to change to root ...
