JavaFX applications in Linux.\n\n## Help:\n#### Q: Will this work on any Distro or even Windows?\n\nA: Yes, it should as long as you replace the ‘apt install’ with your system counterpart.\n\n\n#### Q: When I try to run my application, it tells me:\n\nError: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application.\n\nA: Follow these steps:\n1.\tSelect: Eclipse -\u003e Run -\u003e Run Configurations\n2.\tUnder ‘Java Application’ select your created program\n3.\tUnder the arguments tab insert the following command into ‘VM arguments’ as one line:\n```\n-module-path

specific to Eclipse if you want a good guide follow the OpenJFX documentation: \nhttps://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#introduction\n\n\n#### Q: Can you add pictures?\n\nA: I would like to as I find them easy to follow as well, but I can’t be bothered.\n\n\n#### Q: Can I contrubute? \n\nA: Just make a Pull Request and I'll probably merge it.\n\n\n#### Q: My machine is now broken.\n\nA: That’s not a question, and I don’t care reset your machine and try again.\n\n\n#### Q: You stole this from openjfx.io.\n\nA: Yes, yes I did. Though I did it because I / the people I wrote this for found it easier to follow.\n(P.S. Please go check these guys out they’ve done tones for the FX community)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdevorlon%2Fopenjfx-installation-linux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdevorlon%2Fopenjfx-installation-linux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdevorlon%2Fopenjfx-installation-linux/lists"}
