Hi,
I am trying to set up REW on Linux (Kubuntu) but it is unclear to me how to do this
Here is what I tried:
chmod 777 REW_linux_5_19.sh
ls -al | grep REW_linux_5_19.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 marc marc 16493262 dec 22 12:38 REW_linux_5_19.sh
sudo ./REW_linux_5_19.sh
No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.7 and at most 1.8.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
Now here starts the problem/confusion
REW says it needs Java 8, but when I try to install Java 8, it tells me it cannot be installed because it is outdated, and that Java 13 is the current version.
So I installed java 13, but REW says there is no java on my system.
At the same time I see java 8 on the oracle site as the current version ??????
So I downloaded jre-8u231-linux-x64.tar.gz and unpacked that and pointed rew there
# Uncomment the following line to override the JVM search sequence
INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME_OVERRIDE=/home/marc/Downloads/jre-8u231-linux-x64/
sudo ./REW_linux_5_19.sh
[sudo] password for marc:
gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format
I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted.
If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you
transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are
using binary mode.
When I try to gzip the uncompressed java 8 download, I get this
gzip -rk jre-8u231-linux-x64
gzip: jre-8u231-linux-x64/lib/amd64/server/libjsig.so: Too many levels of symbolic links
gzip: jre-8u231-linux-x64/man/ja: Too many levels of symbolic links
gzip: jre-8u231-linux-x64/bin/ControlPanel: Too many levels of symbolic links
So I am out of options on how to get rew installed, HELP please
