# Onyx

Onyx is a free software environment for creating and estimating structural equation models (SEM). It provides a graphical user interface that facilitates an intuitive creation of models, and a powerful back end for performing maximum likelihood estimation of parameters. Path diagrams in Onyx can be exported to OpenMx, lavaan, and Mplus to allow an easy transition to script-based SEM software. Onyx was written by Timo von Oertzen and [Andreas M. Brandmaier](https://www.brandmaier.de) and is freely distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

# Download

You can download the current (unstable) version of Onyx from this repository. The most recent version is automatically regularly built and deployed [here](https://github.com/brandmaier/onyx/tree/master/dist). 

Download the JAR-file and run it. Note that Onyx requires a recent JAVA runtime environment, such as OpenJDK.

# Build

This section is only for developers. As an Onyx user, you can safely ignore this information. 

If you want to build Onyx from sources, download the sources, make sure that you have a Java development kit ready (including a Java compiler) and the Apache ant build tool. Then, compile the source code using

```{bash}

ant compile

````

Then, package all compiled classes into a single jar file by issuing:

```{bash}

ant dist

```

This creates a single file `onyx.jar` in subfolder `dist`.

# Run

After you have successfully created the distributable jar file, you can run

it from the command line:

```{bash}

cd dist

java -jar onyx.jar

```
