    1. Open the <modeling tool>.properties file, which can be found in <modeling tool>_<version number>_no_install\bin folder.
    2. In the JAVA_HOME line, add the path to the Java software. For example:
      JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre1.8.0_71
  3. To start modeling tool, open the <modeling tool>_<version number>_no_install/bin folder and double-click the <modeling tool> file.
  4. In the Import Configuration dialog, do one of the following:
    • If you want to import the environment options from an earlier modeling tool version, select the location and click Import.
    • If you want to use the default environment options, click Use Default.
  5. Add the license.

Bundling JRE for multiple operating systems

If you want to configure the modeling tool for multiple operating systems, you can manually customize the <modeling tool>.properties file in order for the tool to automatically detect the relevant operating system upon its launch. This eliminates the need to customize the JRE path on each individual operating system where the bundled modeling tool is used. 

Note

JREs should be bundled for each operating system in different subdirectories.

  1. Open the <modeling tool>.properties file, which can be found in <modeling tool>_<version number>_no_install\bin folder.
  2. In the JAVA_HOME line, add the path to the Java software for a specific operating system. Duplicate the line for any additional operating systems you may be using, adding their relative paths. For example:

JAVA_HOME_WINDOWS=jre/windows
JAVA_HOME_MACOSX=jre/macosx/mac/Contents/Home/jre
JAVA_HOME_LINUX=jre/linux
