Linux Installation

There are several ways to install OpenFastTrace on Linux, depending on your distribution and preference.

Package Manager (APT - Debian, Ubuntu, etc.)

For Debian-based systems, we provide an APT repository. This is the recommended way to keep OFT up to date.

  1. Follow the instructions at the itsallcode-apt-repository to add the repository to your system.
  2. Install OpenFastTrace using: 
    sudo apt update
sudo apt install openfasttrace

Homebrew (Linuxbrew)

If you use Homebrew on Linux, you can install OpenFastTrace directly:

brew install openfasttrace

Manual Installation

If you prefer a manual setup, you can use the executable JAR file directly.

1. Install Java

OpenFastTrace requires Java 17 or newer. On Linux, you can usually install it via your package manager:

  • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install default-jre or sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre
  • Fedora/RHEL: sudo dnf install java-17-openjdk
  • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S jre17-openjdk

2. Download OFT

Download the openfasttrace-<version>.jar from the GitHub Releases page. Please check for the latest available version there.

3. Run OFT

You can now run OFT using:

java -jar path/to/openfasttrace-<version>.jar --help

4. Creating a command alias (Optional)

To make it easier to run, add an alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

alias oft='java -jar /path/to/openfasttrace-<version>.jar'
