Installation

There is no installation. Simply download the jar file to your machine.

Running

To run Prune, simply use the command line to launch the jar, like this:

java -jar prune_05.jar

If you have associated jar files with java already, then you can just double-click on the jar file to run it. Alternatively, you can create a batch file or shell script to call the above command, and/or create a shortcut on your desktop or menu. Or you can set up an alias in your .bashrc to this command, so you just have to type "prune" to run it.

Prune should automatically select the language based on your system settings - but remember that only the languages EN, DE, DE_ch, ES, FR and PL are currently supported. If you want to override these settings and select the language yourself, you can do this with an extra parameter:

java -jar prune_05.jar --lang=DE
