Universal Archive Instructions

If you are not using Linux or Windows (or if you have problems with their installation packages) you can use the universal zip archive downloaded from the Download page at my blog. After the download unzip the archive in a position of your choice, inside the program folder the main program executable is represented by the file jpdfbookmarks.jar, which in many systems is already associated with the java virtual machine and you can execute it by simply double click it in a File Manager, if this is not your case you can run it on any system with the command:
 
java -jar jpdfbookmarks.jar

Inside the folder you can find also a bash shell script to launch the program for the systems that can use bash. Before you can launch it give it execution permissions with the command:

chmod +x jpdfbookmarks

 then you can use it from a terminal inside the folder with the command:

./jpdfbookmarks

In th folder there is also another scrip that is called target_executable.sh, which is again a bash script created to launch the program from a symbolic link to it, to use it give it execution permissions with:

chmod +x target_executable.sh

then create a link to it in a directory in your PATH environment variable, on my system a command like the following typed as root do the job:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/jpdfbookmarks/target_executable.sh /usr/local/bin/jpdfbookmarks

now you can launch the program from any terminal simply typing jpdfbookmarks.

I have also included in the folder the Windows exe launcher for the windows users that don't want to use the installer, you can simply double click it to launch the application.

To uninstall any older version simply erase the old unzipped folder.
