====== Installation of ImageJ 1.43b ======

===== Additional libraries ===== 

Java, already installed.

===== Procedure =====

here is the procedure to install ImageJ:

  * ImageJ is contained in a JAR archive, all ready to execute via a script called ''run'' found in the folder created after decompressing the Zip archive. The whole ImageJ folder has to be moved to ''/opt/bio/sources''.

  * This folder should belong to ''root'' and its permissions set to ''755''.

<code bash>
% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/ImageJ
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/ImageJ
</code>

  * Once you are in ''/opt/bio/sources/ImageJ'', you need to edit the ''run'' script so that it looks like this:
<code bash>
export IJ_HOME=/opt/bio/sources/ImageJ
java -Xmx512m -jar $IJ_HOME/ij.jar
</code>

  * You need to make this script available to all:
<code bash>
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/ImageJ/run /usr/local/bin/runImageJ
</code>

  * To add ImageJ to the Impilo application menu, you need to edit the Xfce4 configuration file:
<code>
% sudo xfce4-menueditor /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml
</code>

  * The three things to add are :
    * Item: Launcher
    * Name: ImageJ
    * Command: runImageJ
