How to download the JEX executable version and start JEX

  1. Go to sourceforge (click to open the link) or paste http://sourceforge.net/projects/jextools/ to your browser

  2. Click Download button as shown below and it will automatically download the zip file. Alternatively, you can choose the files tab and choose the latest release version (i.e., the latest file without "-SNAPSHOT" in the name). The "SNAPSHOT" version is the latest development version that could change while the non-SNAPSHOT versions are fixed and do not change.

  1. Simply unzip the file anywhere you would like, except maybe your root directory of your hard drive such as 'C:/' as that is often weirdly write protected and can cause issues.

  2. Double-click one of the following executable scripts depending on your operating system

  • JEX for Window.bat for Windows
  • JEX for Mac.command for Mac
  • JEX-<version #>-SNAPSHOT-all.jar for Linux users; run the jar from the command line to change the memory settings (-Xmxm) to allocate more memory to the application
