Supplemental information for JOSM -- the Java OpenStreetMap Editor Installation notes ------------------ To run JOSM, you need: * The JOSM .jar file, e.g., josm-tested.jar or josm-latest.jar * Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6, or later. How to get Java Runtime Environment ----------------------------------- You need JRE Version 1.6 (also called Java6), or later. Microsoft Windows users should visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html and download the latest Java6 executable for Windows systems. Linux users should visit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html There is a Linux binary installer, which you must execute from a console, or use the mechanism of your distribution's packaging system. How to launch ------------- Microsoft Windows users launch by double-clicking on the .jar file. If this does not work, open a command shell and type "java -jar josm-latest.jar" in the directory that holds the file. (Please replace josm-latest.jar with the name of your .jar file, if you aren't using the latest version.) Under Linux, open a shell, go to the file directory and type "java -jar josm-latest.jar" to launch. If this does not work, try to set your JAVA_HOME variable to the java executable location (the root location, not the bin). MacOS users just click on the .jar file icon. How to get the source code -------------------------- Download it directly from the subversion at https://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk. To use the command line subversion client, type svn co https://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk
