Installing
There are several types of installers available:
-
Platform-specific installers with bundled Java runtime. These are bigger, but you don’t need to install Java separately and overall integration with the system is better. For now, these installers are only available for the nightly builds.
-
Platform-agnostic installer is much smaller, but requires installing the Java runtime separately.
In general, you need the following:
- A machine with Windows, Linux, or macOS installed. GUI support is mandatory.
- For noJRE distribution only - Java: JRE or JDK 8+ (version 17+ is recommended)
- Android SDK Platform-Tools (optional, to work with a device or an emulator)
If you don’t have Java installed, you can download Eclipse Temurin JRE for your operating system and hardware architecture.
The Java executable (javaw.exe on Windows and java on Linux/macOS) is
expected to be on PATH. Alternatively, the JAVA_HOME environment variable
should point to the JRE/JDK.
Download the latest release archive from GitHub, and unpack it into the location of your choice.
To run AndLogView, use the OS-specific script:
bin/logview.bat(Windows)bin/logview(Linux/MacOS X)
A x64 Linux machine capable of installing DEB packages (like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) is required.
- Download the appropriate
debinstaller from nightly builds on GitHub. - Run
sudo dpkg -i <path-to-downloaded-installer>.deb
AndLogView should be available in the application list of your Desktop
Environment (Start Menu) and as andlogview in the terminal.
- Download the appropriate
exeinstaller from nightly builds on GitHub. - Run it. You don’t need admin privileges to install.
- The installer isn’t signed (yet), so you may need to bypass the antivirus software warning.
- Configure the installation parameters as you’d like.
AndLogView should be available in the Start Menu or on Desktop, depending on your choices during installation.
