Running Cytoscape 3.8.2 on Ubuntu 20.04

[Karen van Niekerk]

Hello all,

I am new to Cytoscape and I'm having persistent problems with Cytoscape freezing and crashing. I have checked that the path to Java is correct on my system (Using 14.0.2), but it seems that Cytoscape is not reading it. Are there any suggestions?

Thank you.

Karen

Hi Karen,

Java 11 is required for Cytoscape. For Ubuntu, a simple way of installing the OpenJDK JVM is described at https://adoptopenjdk.net/installation.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot#x64_linux-jre. Java 11 must be on the PATH (ahead of any other JVM) or referenced by JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Thank you. It appears to help Cytoscape run more smoothly.

I assumed a newer version of Java would work better!
