PRIDE Submission Tool does not launch

[ypriverol]

In some cases, the PRIDE Submission Tool (PX Submission Tool) do not lunch automatically. Make sure you have the following requirements before you run the tool:

1. You should unzip the zipped file and run px-submission-tool-2.4.xx.jar, NOT the ZIP File.

2. Make sure you have not put the tool in a directory with a blank space or similar.

3. Please open a command line window and run the following command to check your java version:

java -version

For MAC users

Check for the old version of JDK installed even though it is updated to the new version of JRE. Re-locate the unzipped px-submission-tool-2.4.xx folder from the desktop to the main Mac directory (this overcame the “unable to access” error).

For troubleshooting, please open your command-line and run the following commands and check your environments are correctly set up.

java -version to check you have java installed. You should be able to see something like: java version “1.8.0_191”. If you get an error message: java -version is not recognized as an internal or external command … This means you have not set up your Java properly. If so, please install Java and restart the machine. You need to have a 1.8 or above java version.

echo $JAVA_HOME to check you have set up the environment variable properly.

cd <path/to/the/px-submission-tool/directory> Navigate to your submission tool folder

java -jar px-submission-tool-.jar to open the tool. Please replace the version number.
