This article instructs how to install JavaFX and run applications requiring it.

Linux

  • Download SDK for Linux from Gluon.
  • Create an environment variable for Javafx runtime using terminal:
    • a) for current session: execute export PATH_TO_FX=[absolute path to its folder]/lib
    • b) permanently: edit /etc/profile - paste the above command to the end of the file (the path must be enclosed between double quotes, e.g. "/home/alexiy/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib"), and restart the system.
  • Test the runtime by running an application which uses Javafx: java -jar --module-path $PATH_TO_FX --add-modules javafx.controls some.jar

Windows 7, 10

  • Download SDK for Windows from Gluon.
  • Create a system environment variable named PATH_TO_FX with value [absolute path to Javafx SDK]\lib
  • Test the runtime by executing command: java -jar --module-path %PATH_TO_FX% --add-modules javafx.controls some.jar
