Installers for jPSKmail

These installers take care of the jPSKmail installation. They do not include java and fldigi and they are required.
Please scroll down and have a look at the brief install instructions at the bottom of the page.


These are for the version 1.5.29 that requires fldigi:
The first file is for linux, tested on ubuntu:
jPSKmail-1.5.29-Linux-x86-Install
This file is for Windows:
jPSKmail-1.5.29-Setup.exe
This file is for all others, just unzip an launch the jar. Works on Macs:
jpskmail-1.5.29.zip


These are for version 2 with integrated modem (fldigi not necessary):
The first file is for linux, tested on ubuntu:
jPSKmail-2.0.30-Linux-x86-Install
This file is for Windows:
jPSKmail-2.0.30-Setup.exe
This file is for all others, just unzip an launch the jar. Works on Macs:
jpskmail-2.0.30.zip




This is the server version 2.2.1, it's mainly here for my raspberry pi project:
pskmail_server-2.2.1.tar.gz

Here is the user manual for the jpskmail client, made for version 1.5.
The manual is included in the packages above.

Server installation
Not much info here at the moment I'm afraid but the file is here:
pskmail_server-1.9.4.tar.gz


Client Installation:

Ubuntu linux:
jPSKmail requires java and uses fldigi for the modem part. Librxtx can be used to get data from a gps.
So, begin by installing java, fldigi and librxtx in a terminal. To open a terminal just press ctrl+alt+t or use the menu.
In the terminal do:
sudo apt-get install fldigi default-jre librxtx-java
Then download the jPSKmail installer above. By default downloaded files can not be executed in linux (good security) so
you will have to set the file as executable. You can either right click on it and within properties check the box where
you allow it to be executed or do it from the terminal. From the terminal you cd to where the file is, could be like:
cd Downloads
Then mark the file as executable:
chmod +x jPSKmail-1.5.29-Setup.exe
Now its time to launch the installer, in linux you have to launch files with a path (security again) so do it like:
./jPSKmail-1.5.29-Linux-x86-Install
The path is the ./ at the beginning, it helps protect the user from launching stuff by accident.
After these steps the automated installer should do the rest, then the fun begins!

Windows
jPSKmail requires java and uses fldigi for the modem part. Librxtx is used to handle the gps and is in the
installer for jpskmail. Begin by installing java and fldigi, you can get java here:

fldigi is available here:

Then launch the installer for jPSKmail. The automated installer should take care of the rest...

MacOS and BSD
Unfortunately I don't have any of these to test on so you are pretty much on your own here.
What little I could do to help was to create a zip-file with the necessary files (see above).
The installation should be similar to the others in that you need java and fldigi, then unzip the archive
and launch jpskmail using java. I can guess that "java -jar javapskmail.jar" should get you going.
If you should get it running then I would like to hear from you and spread the word about how to do it.
Should you know of an installer I could use to package for your OS then that is also interesting.
