Tutorials

Step 1

Download CupCarbon

Visit the following website and donwload CupCarbon:
www.cupcarbon.com
You unzip the file cupcarbon.zip
You will get the following files:

You need just to execute the jar file cupcarbon.jar
If CupCarbon starts, then you are lucky, you can continue to use it normally
Otherwise, it means you have a recent version of Java
CupCarbon works only with the version 8 (1.8.xxx). Since we are using JavaFX platform, CupCarbon can run only with the Java 8 version.
Therefore, you may install the version 8 (JRE 1.8) of java in your system
To do that, visit the following web page: (www.java.com). Verify that you are installing the version 8.
Once done, you can double click again on the file cupcarbon.jar and start using CupCarbon normally.

If CupCarbon does not start then you may check the version of java installed in your system, you can use the following command:

java -version

Verify that the version is 1.8.xxx
In case where the version is not 8 then depending on your system you should either change the current default version to 8 or to install the jre directly from the website of oracle:

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java8-mac
Go to the section: Java SE Development Kit 8u391
Choose your platform and download the installer.
Once Java installed run CupCarbon using the java command:

java -jar cupcarbon.jar

If it does not work, then run CupCarbon using the complete path of Java. For example, for mac OS, go to the directory where the cupcarbon.jar is situated and write the following command:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8xx.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar cupcarbon.jar

jdk1.8xx can be any version starting with 1.8.
