Recently, I spoke about Azureus A Powerful, Full-Featured, Cross-Platform Bittorrent Client. Now we shall look at another issu, installation of Azureus on Windows, Linux and OSX.
Installation Guide - Windows Users
1) Install JRE from here.
2) Install latest setup.exe from here.
3) Start Azureus.exe.
- If Azureus window does not show up after a minute, or if it immediately terminates, try starting with the debug .exe available from
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download/Azureus-debug.exe
Starting manually:
- java -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
If Azureus starts without any exception stack traces, you can replace java by javaw and just use this shortcut/batch for starting Azureus:
- javaw -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
Batch File:
- start javaw -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
If the problem still remains, you should use the batch file, java instead of javaw and an absolute path to java.exe (C:\jre1.4.1\bin\java.exe, for example).
- C:\jre1.4.1\bin\java.exe -classpath swt.jar;Azureus2.jar org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
pause
Installation Guide - Linux Users
1) Install JRE from here.
2) Extract latest linux package (choice of GTK or Motif) from here
- To extract the program files from the package, type
- tar xvjf Azureus_x.x.x.x_linux…tar.bz2
where Azureus_x.x.x.x_linux…tar.bz2 is the name of the downloaded package.
3) Change to the azureus directory and run ./azureus to start
- cd azureus
- ./azureus
If you get an error message, or want to configure the java exec path, just open the azureus script file with your favorite text editor and edit the given configuration options.
If Azureus does not show up after a minute, you can try starting it manually:
- GTK:
- java -cp swt.jar:swt-pi.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
- Motif:
- java -cp swt.jar:Azureus2.jar -Djava.library.path=./ org.gudy.azureus2.ui.swt.Main
4) Please give feedback, if any exceptions were thrown.
