Starting jGnash

After the jGnash directory has been extracted from the zip file, you should see several files in the directory. Of interest at this point are the jar and exe files.

If you are running on a Windows® based computer, you can simply double click on the jGnash2.exe file to start jGnash. If you want, you can also double click on the jGnash2.jar file as an alternate means for starting the application.

If you are running on a Unix based system you can start jGnash from a terminal as shown below. Alternatively, you can create your own application launcher in your desktop environment of choice.

java -jar jGnash2.jar

jGnash has several advanced features such as running as a portable application or using jGnash as a multi-user home networked application. These advanced features are accessible via the command line. Please see Command Line Options for more details.
