Build

Note: You don’t need to build TubeDB. Prebuild packages are available. (see install)

TubeDB can be build on Linux (Ubuntu) or Windows.

requirements:

  • (optional) git

  • Gradle

  • Java 8 or newer: Oracle JDK or OpenJDK

  • JavaFX 8 or newer: included in (some) Oracle JDKs or OpenJFX

Linux (Ubuntu)

update Ubuntu package list

sudo apt-get update

update all installed packages

sudo apt-get upgrade

(optional) install git

sudo apt-get install git

install Gradle

sudo apt install gradle

install OpenJDK

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

check correct installation of JDK

javac --version

install OpenJFX

sudo apt-get install openjfx

(option 1) clone TubeDB source with git

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/environmentalinformatics-marburg/tubedb

(option 2) download latest source archive and extract it

(option 3) download specific source archive version and extract it

change to TubeDB source root (there needs to be the file build.gradle)

cd tubedb

install current Gradle wrapper (you may need to mark shell scripts as executable chmod +X *.sh)

./gradlew

Note: To ensure correct Gralde version you need to use ./gradlew and not ‘gradle’ for your Gradle commands.

Troubleshooting: If Gradle prints the error “unable to create native thread: possibly out of memory or process/resource limits reached” try to run with --no-daemon e.g. ./gradlew --no-daemon _build_package_linux_windows

run one of following Gradle commands for desired target platform: Linux or Windows or both

  • ./gradlew _build_package

  • ./gradlew _build_package_windows

  • ./gradlew _build_package_linux_windows

the build is then created in subfolder package

cd package

for Linux target you may need to mark shell scripts as executable in folder package:

chmod +X *.sh

proceed to install

Windows

install gradle

install Oracle Java 8 (JavaFX is included)

download latest source archive and extract it

on command line change to TubeDB source root (there needs to be the file build.gradle)

run one of following gradle commands for desired target platform: Linux or Windows or both

  • gradle _build_package

  • gradle _build_package_windows

  • gradle _build_package_linux_windows

the build is distributed in subfolder package

cd package

proceed to install
