Hi,

im a newbie debian user, i download the file and followed insturctions, the file Cafetran is set as an executable but it ends up being opened by Vim, a terminal text editor program. Basically I dont know how to open Cafetrans, any tips? Thanks!

Hi Violet,

Are you using any window manager on your Linux (e.g Gnome). Is your Linux a 64-bit system? Do you try to launch CafeTran via the file named "Cafetran" (not via Cafetran.jar)?

Hi,

yes, im using Debian, 64 bit. I managed to install it through Snap (i think) and it does execute but to this: (refer to the image). All text characters are basically represented as 0. Funny stuff. Any ideas about that issue? :)

Probably, there are some missing dependencies on your Debian system. Try installing Java 17 as described https://computingforgeeks.com/install-oracle-java-openjdk-on-debian-linux/. CafeTran will not use this specifc Java but such installation may download all the Java-related dependencies.
