Java

Syncro SVN Client requires Java. Syncro SVN Client only supports official and stable Java Virtual Machines with the version number 1.6.0 or later (the recommended version is 1.6.0) from Oracle available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Syncro SVN Client may work with JVM implementations from other vendors, but there is no guarantee that other implementations will work with future Syncro SVN Client updates and releases. Syncro SVN Client does not work with the GNU libgcj Java Virtual Machine.

Syncro SVN Client uses the following rules to determine which installed version of Java to use:

  1. If you used the Linux installer, which installs a version of Java as part of the Syncro SVN Client installation, the version in the jre subdirectory of the installation directory is used.
  2. Otherwise, if the Linux environment variable JAVA_HOME is set, Syncro SVN Client uses the Java version pointed to by this variable.
  3. Otherwise the version of Java pointed to by your PATH environment variable is used.

You can also change the version of the Java Virtual Machine that runs Syncro SVN Client by editing the script file, syncroSVNClient.sh. Go to the Java command at the end of the script file and specify the full path to the Java executable of the desired JVM version. For example: 

/usr/bin/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Xmx256m ...

Linux Installation

Linux installation procedure.

To install Syncro SVN Client on Linux, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Linux installer.
  2. Optionally, you can validate the integrity of the downloaded file by checking it against the MD5 sum published on the download page.
  3. Run the installer that you downloaded.
    For example, open a shell, cd to the installation directory, and at the prompt type sh ./oxygen-32bit.sh or sh ./oxygen-64bit.sh, depending on which installer you downloaded.
  4. Start Syncro SVN Client using one of the following methods:
    • Use the syncroSVNClient shortcut created by the installer.
    • From a command line, type sh syncroSVNClient.sh. This file is located in the installation folder.
  5. To license your copy of Syncro SVN Client go to Help ⇒ Register and enter your license key.

Unattended Installation

You can run the installation in unattended mode by running the installer from the command line with the -q parameter. By default, running the installer in unattended mode installs Syncro SVN Client with the default options and does not overwrite existing files. You can change many options for the unattended installer using the installer command line parameters.
