Operating the standalone client

  1. Make sure you have a Java Virtual Machine capable of extracting files from a Java ARchive (JAR). Sun has one, for example.
  2. Download the latest JAR file that contains the client and save it on a location of your choice.
  3. Go to the location of where you saved the JAR file.
  4. Unpack the JAR using the command
    'jar xf gammaEscapeClient.jar'.
    (It is also possible to unpack the archive using WinZip.)
  5. Run the client using this information:
    Usage: java net.jansson.decayHeat.gammaEscapeClient [arguments]
    where all arguments are optional (and case censitive):
    -id <Your preffered ID>
    -file <Your preffered data file name>
    Example:
    java net.jansson.decayHeat.gammaEscapeClient -id USER -file FILE
  6. OBS.The latest version of the server treat all users that do not specify an id as anonymous, so if you want to be visible in the statistics the you should select a user id. :-)
