Installing ProM6 on linux

edited January 2014 in - Usage
I've read the tutorial on "how to install" ProM6 on linux, but at least for a newbie like me they were too general. (Like, just decompress and run).
I tried running the jar file "java -jar ProM63.jar"

It prints:
tw@potatOS:~/prom-6.3-all-platforms$ java -jar ProM63.jar Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException

Any help on how to fix this? (maybe a tutorial for future newbies like me)

  • Hi 'twolf',

    welcome to the forum!

    This issue is not directly ProM related but more a Linux thing.
    Prom creates a graphical user interface. However, the way you start ProM is via a 'headless' linux environment, ie without a graphical user interface.
    ProM can only be run interactively when you have some graphical user interface loaded in linux.

    I'm not very familiar with LInux but I hope this sets you in the right direction to search for a solution.

  • Well, I did a full clean install of my distro, and installed java again, and now seems to be running just fine (just java -jar ProM63.jar).
    If you could close this topic it would be greatly appreciated.
