Oracle Java Platform 8 (JDK) must be installed. Installation packages can be downloaded from here:
Java Platform, Standard Edition: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Note: Open-JDK cannot be used because of the lack of JavaFX support.
Current version of CS-Studio doesn't run on the Java 9 VM. If you have installed Java 9 (possibly because you are evaluating or working with it) and Java 8, then you need to tell CS-Studio to used Java 8.
Contents/Eclipse folder and edit the ESS CS-Studio.ini file;--launcher.library add the following two lines:-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_152.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin
where jdk1.8.0_152.jdk should be replaced by the Java 8 version you have.
Note: the following instuctions are deprecated for the Development Machine 3.0.0 and newer. The supported method to update CS-Studio is described here.
css-update.sh is a linux script that will make easy update CS-Studio to a specific version. Download it into your home directory, then execute the following commands:
sudo mv ~/css-update.sh /usr/bin/css-update
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/css-update
Now you can use it in the following manner: css-update [-d] <version>, where
-d will take updates from the development repository,<version> is the version you want to be updated to.This command:
/opt/cs-studio folder into /opt/cs-studio-<old-version>,/opt/cs-studio.Example: css-update -d 4.5.0.1 will download the development version of CS–Studio 4.5.0.1 and install it into /opt so next time the css command will be run the new version of CS-Studio will start.
