The application has been tested on these platforms:

• Windows 10
• Ubuntu (20.04)

Note, that it should work on newer versions of these operating systems as well if a compatible JRE is used, but it is not guaranteed. The same is true for different Linux distributions.

In order to quickly launch the application, run either of the following scripts:

• run_gzipper.bat
• run_gzipper.sh

On Linux-based systems, make sure that the script file is executable by running the following:

chmod +x run_gzipper.sh

You may want to alter the script to point to a different Java home directory.
The scripts assume that a compatible Java version is available in PATH.

If there is a JAVA_HOME environment variable set, then the script run_gzipper.bat may e.g. be altered to:

start /min PowerShell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden "& "$env:JAVA_HOME\bin\java" --module-path ..."

--launch_mode

• application
  • Default. Launches the entire application.
• hashview
  • Launches hash (message digest) view only.

For compression and decompression this application uses parts of the commons-compress library by Apache Foundation as well as 'XZ for Java' by Tukaani. Their source code and documentation can be found here:

This application is built for Java 11 and higher and supports Kotlin.
Since version 2.0.0, the main (or master) branch targets Java 17 (>= 17.0.2).
