Ubuntu 18.04/18.10 and Linux Mint 19

• Install the dependencies:

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install git maven openjdk-11-jdk fakeroot
  

• Optional: if your distribution does not support Java 11+ or if you need to create packages, grab the latest JDK

   wget https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk11/13/GPL/openjdk-11.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz -O /tmp/openjdk-11+28_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
   sudo tar xfvz /tmp/openjdk-11+28_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz --directory /usr/lib/jvm
   export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11"
  

• Clone the repository from GitHub:

  git clone https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis.git
  

• Set the Java version:

  export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
  

• Build Phoenicis:

  cd phoenicis
  mvn clean package
  

• Create packages

  cd phoenicis-dist/src/scripts
  bash phoenicis-create-package.sh
  

Arch Linux

• Install the dependencies.
  • git
  • jdk11
  • maven
  • gradle-1.8 (AUR)
• Clone the repository from GitHub:

  git clone https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis.git
  

• Build Phoenicis:

  cd phoenicis
  mvn clean package
  

Fedora >= 29

• Install the dependencies:

  sudo dnf install git maven java-11-openjdk-devel
  

• Set the Java version

  export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk"
  sudo update-alternatives --config java
  

• Clone the repository from GitHub:

  git clone https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis.git
  

• Build Phoenicis:

  cd phoenicis
  mvn clean package
  

• Create packages

  cd phoenicis-dist/src/scripts
  bash phoenicis-create-package.sh
  

TrueOS

• Install the dependencies:

  sudo pkg install git openjdk11 maven roboto-fonts-ttf
  

• Clone the repository from GitHub:

  git clone https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis.git
  

• Create a file called FreeBSD.properties inside phoenicis/phoenicis-configuration/src/main/resources/, similar to Linux.properties, just change those two lines :

  application.name = Phoenicis PlayOnBSD
  #tools.linux-terminal = x-terminal-emulator
  

  Note : As there is not FreeBSD wine at the moment, the linux wine package will be displayed in the engine window.

Troubleshooting

Maven dependencies cannot be downloaded

• Save an empty JKS file with the default ‘changeit’ password for Java cacerts.

  sudo /usr/bin/printf '\xfe\xed\xfe\xed\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\xe2\x68\x6e\x45\xfb\x43\xdf\xa4\xd9\x92\xdd\x41\xce\xb6\xb2\x1c\x63\x30\xd7\x92' > /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts
  

• Re-add all the CA certs into the previously empty file.

  sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst configure
  

If this doesn’t help, you can try to delete the .m2 directory in your home directory. This will force Maven to re-download all dependencies.

Old Java version

Problem:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/phoenicis/javafx/JavaFXApplication : Unsupported major.minor version

Solution: Switch to at least Java 11 for running locally (see: these instructions)
