Install

Java

OpenMOLE requires that Java 7 is installed and available on your computer.

From version 0.7, OpenMOLE is fully working under OpenJDK 7. This is the recomended option. If you want to use the Oracle JRE, you also need to install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) available on this page (at the bottom). JCE is just a bunch of files you should replace in you jre/lib/security directory of your java install location. It enables strong crypto algorithms in the jvm.

Install instruction

Run the installer jar file of OpenMOLE (java -jar your.jar under a terminal) and follow the installation instructions. To install it in console mode you should add the -console argument.

Launch

Once installed you should launch openmole by executing the “openmole” file in the installation directory (openmole.bat for windozers). It will bring up the OpenMOLE graphical interface. Instruction to launch the console interface are avialable here.

If you need to select a particular version of java for OpenMOLE, you need either to set change the PATH variable of your system or to edit the launching script of OpenMOLE (openmole or openmole.bat) and specify the path to java manually.
