JavaFX Installation

In order to launch a JavaFX application, Java and JavaFX must be installed. See the installation script.

How to build

It is important to install artifacts in the local maven repository. These artifacts will be used for launching the app using e.g. layryy:

mvn clean install

How to launch on Raspberry Pi

As a Java modular application:

Go to <project-location>/app/target directory and execute:

java --module-path /home/pi/armv6hf-sdk/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.web -jar /home/pi/app-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Using layrry:

Go to the <project-location>/layrrylauncher/launcher directory and execute:

java --module-path /home/pi/armv6hf-sdk/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.web -jar layrry-launcher-1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar --layers-config layers.toml
