How To Run

Executable

• Linux & Windows installers are found here.
• Mac users will need to build the application for themselves (I recommend using one of the batch scripts as a base), or otherwise run the application through the project (mentioned below).

Project

1. Download the repository, either by

   • Pressing the green "Code" button to download the repository to your workspace (.zip, or downloading to GitHub Desktop), or

   • Opening a terminal, and running

     git clone https://github.com/lucasstarsz/FXPad.git

     in the desired directory.

2. Open the project with IntelliJ (2020.3 or later preferred)

3. Select Run → Run... → Edit Configurations...

4. Select Application → Main

5. Set the VM Options to --module-path "path/to/javafx-sdk-15/lib":out/production

   • Don't see the option? You may need to click on Modify options in the top right of the window, and add a checkmark next to Add VM options.

6. Hit Apply, then Run. If everything goes as expected, you should see the project build and run!
