Raw

The pre-compiled binaries of JXcore available from jxcore.com/downloads. You can also use bash script (for Unix platforms), or setup (for Windows) that can do the installation for you.

For Linux/OSX:

The jx_install.sh script always downloads the latest release.

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jxcore/jxcore/master/tools/jx_install.sh | bash

The same script can be taken also from the shorter URL: http://jxcore.com/xil.sh, so the command would look this way:

$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash

Script options

Several options are available for customizing the installation process.

Example usages given below:

# with curl:
$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash -s force sm local
# by calling the script directly:
$ ./jx_install.sh force sm local

sm

Installs SpiderMonkey build instead of default V8.

$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash -s sm

v8

Specifying the engine for V8 is not necessary (as this is the default engine), but still acceptable. Thus both of the following calls are equivalent:

$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash
$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash -s v8

local

Installs jx binary into the current directory ./ rather than into global path (by default JXcore is installed into global /usr/local/bin/jx).

$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash -s local

force

If there is already the same version at target path installed, forces to overwrite the jx file.
This may be useful in case when you want to switch from one engine to another:

# installs v8:
$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash
# forces to install SpiderMonkey
$ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | bash -s force sm

Notes:

  • FreeBSD requires bash, and unzip installed

  • If you have permission denied message, make sure the user has root access. Try executing the command as su, or sudo:

    $ curl http://jxcore.com/xil.sh | sudo bash

For Windows:

Apart from separate zip files per each engine/architecture (32sm/64sm/32v8/64v8), there is also an installer available.

For example on Windows x32 you may choose one of the two options:

  • V8 x32
  • SpiderMonkey x32

While on Windows x64 you have total 4 options:

  • V8 x32
  • V8 x64
  • SpiderMonkey x32
  • SpiderMonkey x64
