Running GUIquotes

For Windows users double click on the GUIquotes.exe executable. If GUIquotes runs OK, right click on GUIquotes.exe and select Create Shortcut. Then drag this shortcut to the desktop or Start button to simplify running GUIquotes.

For Linux users the easiest way to run GUIquotes is to execute the Shell file Linuxrun.sh in the quotes_program directory. The Linuxrun.sh might need to be made executable before it can be run. To do this with a file manager/browser right click Linuxrun.sh, select properties and under permissions make the file executable. Then to run program double click Linuxrun.sh. If GUIquotes runs you are good to go.

For either Windows or Linux if there is an error about the Java version being too old see the GUIquotes requirements section. If there are other problems or for Macs see the following Running GUIquotes manually section.

Running GUIquotes manually

To run GUIquotes manually open a command prompt in Windows or a terminal in Linux. How to open these is explained in the How to check the Java version section. Once the command prompt or terminal is opened go to the quotes_program directory using cd (change directory). For help on cd Windows users use help cd or Linux/Mac users use man cd. Then enter java -jar GUIquotes.jar which should run GUIquotes. If GUIquotes does not run check the Support section.
