In order to run PaDEL from the terminal follow the steps below.
Make a PaDEL-Descriptor repository from GitHub, follow the steps below:
Perform a build (ant) in the folders, in the following order:
~/PaDEL-Descriptor/libPaDEL
~/PaDEL-Descriptor/libPaDEL-Jobs
~/PaDEL-Descriptor/libPaDEL-Descriptor
~/PaDEL-Descriptor/
After running the build in the last folder ~/PaDEL-Descriptor, go through the output in the terminal and look for -do-jar-with-mainclass:.
Underneath ‘-do-jar-with-mainclass:’ two [echo] lines are visible. In the second [echo] line you will find:
[echo] java cp “…” padeldescriptor.PaDELDescriptorApp
The dots (…) give the specified locations of jar files on your computer.
Copy the complete line and run it on the command line.
A PaDEL window should now appear!!
Note: Running PaDEL was tested using:
- cdk.1.4.15
- openjdk 21.0.3
