jerome1232 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) So I run Linux exclusively and I'm trying to get indexing to work. Unfortunately I'm rather clueless as to how to get it to actually run. I've downloaded a script from familysearch.org using wget: wget https://indexing.familysearch.org/downloads/Indexing_unix.sh But the script bombs out checking for Java (I do have openjdk 1.8) jeremy@main:~/geneaology$ ./Indexing_unix.sh ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/jeremy/geneaology/jre/bin/*': No such file or directory No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system. The version of the JVM must be at least 1.6 and at most 1.6. Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM. You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/jeremy/.install4j jeremy@main:~/geneaology$ java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_91" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode) I'm not sure if I need to edit the script so I can fake out the java check or.... I just don't know. Edited August 6, 2016 by jerome1232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zil Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I can't help you, but just in case you don't already know, there's a tech forum on lds.org specifically for indexing. jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have 1.8? jerome1232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 That forum would be helpful! I didn't catch that "at most 1.6" either. I'll do some poking around on that tech forum right now. zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
