Installation of JChemPaint 3.1.0

Java, already installed.

Here is the procedure to install JChemPaint:

• JChemPaint is distributed as a JAR archive, ready to execute. Create a folder under /home/bioubuntu to put the archive in and move this folder to /opt/bio/sources.

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

% sudo chown -R root:root /opt/bio/sources/jchempaint
% sudo chmod 755 /opt/bio/sources/jchempaint

• Once you are in /opt/bio/sources/jchempaint, create a small startup script to failitate the job:

% sudo nano runJCP

• Put this code in it:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar /opt/bio/sources/jchempaint/jchempaint-3.1.jar

• You need to make this script executable and available to all:

% sudo chmod ugo+x runJCD
% sudo ln -s /opt/bio/sources/jchempaint/runJCP /usr/local/bin/runJCP

• To add JChemPaint to the Impilo application menu, you need to edit the Xfce4 configuration file:

% sudo xfce4-menueditor /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml

• The three items to add are:
  • Item: Launcher
  • Name: JChemPaint
  • Command: runJCP
