JNEXT

2. Installing

Installing a package is the recommended way to get JNEXT. Download the one for your system from the latest release:

https://github.com/jorgegv/jnext/releases/latest

Trying a build before it is released

Every change that reaches the main branch is built automatically, and the resulting packages can be downloaded and tried before the next release. These are untested development builds, for people helping to check a fix.

  1. Open https://github.com/jorgegv/jnext/actions/workflows/ci.yml and set Branch to main.
  2. Open the newest run that has a green tick.
  3. Scroll down to Artifacts, at the bottom of the run's Summary page.
  4. Click the one for your system:

    System Artifact
    Windows 10 / 11, 64-bit jnext-windows-x64-zip
    Windows 7 SP1 or later, 64-bit jnext-windows-x64-legacy-zip
    Windows 7 SP1 or later, 32-bit jnext-windows-x86-legacy-zip
    macOS jnext-macos-dmg
    Fedora / RHEL jnext-linux-rpm
    Any Linux (Flatpak) jnext-linux-flatpak
    Source code jnext-source-zip

    The jnext-windows-*-sdl-zip artifacts are reduced builds without the Qt interface; you do not need them.

  5. You must be signed in to GitHub (a free account is enough) to download.

  6. The download is a zip that wraps the package. Unzip it, then install as described in the pages that follow; the Windows and macOS security prompts behave the same way.
  7. Builds are kept for 14 days. Please report problems on the issue tracker and include the run's address.

There is no Ubuntu or Debian package here; use the Flatpak.
