Linux

Jim will run under all 64-bit versions of Linux that can run from the Java version 25. This includes systems with Intel, AMD or ARMv8 processors.

Supported Versions of Linux

To run Jim, your computer must be capable of running Java version 25. Suitable Linux distributions include Red Hat, SuSE and Oracle. See the Oracle Web Site for more details of supported systems. However, please note that Java 25 will work on most systems even if they are not officially supported by Oracle.

Special Requirements for Linux

• You must have OpenGL Version 1.3 or later installed; if it is not installed, install it from your installation source or from your graphics card manufacturer's web site.
• For 3-D display to work reliably, we recommend graphics cards by Nvidia, together with the latest drivers. Other cards may work if they support OpenGL, but may exhibit 'glitches'. If you have problems with Jim's 3-D display, please go to your graphics card manufacturer's web site and install the latest driver.
