Linux Installation Instructions

The current distribution package for Linux consists of a .zip archive that unpacks to produce a hierarchy of files as follows:

ZereneStacker        top level directory
      ZereneStacker.bsh launch script
      ZereneStacker.jar jar containing the application
      JREextensions      directory containing numerous .jar files
      jre                directory containing a Sun Java Runtime Environment for Linux
                                       (32-bit or 64-bit as appropriate)

The launch script assumes that the archive is unpacked into the user's home directory.

If it is unpacked to a different location, then you must edit the ZereneStacker.bsh launch script
so that the symbol appdir points to the location where you unpacked the .zip file.

As distributed, the script says
appdir="$HOME/ZereneStacker"

With appdir properly set, executing the launch script should start Zerene
Stacker, producing first a splash screen and then a full GUI as shown
in the online documentation.
