[peter...@gmail.com]

Hi

Can anyone help a Linux Mint newbie trying to install Calengoo?

A very simple guide would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

thank you for your message! I will try to collect all installation instructions here:

https://www.calengoo.com/desktop/linux.html

However it should be quite simple: Install Java 8, unzip the CalenGoo file and start it using the "calengoo.sh" file.

Where do you have problems? 🤔🙂

Kind regards

Dominique

Presuming mint is like Ubuntu it works out of the box *as long as* you install oracle's version of java. I didnt find it worked with the openjdk

Did you use the Java 8 version of OpenJDK? The problem seems to be that newer versions of Java don't contain JavaFX, it is now a separate library. But with the Java 8 version of OpenJDK it worked fine when I tried it. The only thing that didn't work were the tutorial videos at the start (they are Flash videos and maybe the codec is not included in OpenJDK).

Kind regards

Hello Dominique,

i am an excited user of CGAndroid since years and of CG Desktop for win10 since half a year. Thank you for your great work.

Now I try to use Calengoo Desktop on Linux mint, which I use parallel to my win10 installation. I am a beginner with this. So maybe my problem i did some mistakes.

I followed your instructions here

https://www.calengoo.com/desktop/linux.html

but it doesnt work.

What did i do?

Installing java "from" zulu

Setting Java_home

but when I try to execute in terminal: CalenGoo-Java$ sudo ./calengoo.sh  (Iam in the directory of calengoo.sh)

i get: fehler: Hauptklasse CalenGoo konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden

I try different things for the last two hours. Now I decided to ask you! Can you help me, or give me a idea? or where I can ask? Thanks.

great, thank you very much! I am glad that you like it! 😊

I think you should not use "sudo" to run CalenGoo. It would run it as root, which is not necessary. Can you please try to run it with

sh calengoo.sh

or

./calengoo.sh

instead? Does that work?

Kind regards

No. The same output.

Fehler: Hauptklasse CalenGoo konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden

Is it necessary to edit something in calengoo.sh?

Or is it a java problem? So that I have to look there, for a solution?

Hi Anton!

Please type

java -version

(maybe with the path of your Zulu installation, e.g. "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version").

Is a Java 8 version displayed?

Take a look at the calengoo.sh file. It first goes into the current CalenGoo directory and then it runs

java -cp CalenGooDesktop.jar -Djava.library.path=lib CalenGoo

Can you find the file "CalenGooDesktop.jar"? Does it work if you write

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp CalenGooDesktop.jar -Djava.library.path=lib CalenGoo

?

Kind regards

Dominique
