Well done you can now create Java and JavaFX applications in Linux.
## Help:
#### Q: Will this work on any Distro or even Windows?
A: Yes, it should as long as you replace the ‘apt install’ with your system counterpart.
#### Q: When I try to run my application, it tells me:
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application.
A: Follow these steps:
1. Select: Eclipse -> Run -> Run Configurations
2. Under ‘Java Application’ select your created program
3. Under the arguments tab insert the following command into ‘VM arguments’ as one line:
```
-module-path /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.javafx/lib -add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.graphics,javafx.fxml
```
4. Select ‘Apply’
#### Q: Will this work for Netbeans / IntelliJ?
A: No, a lot of this is specific to Eclipse if you want a good guide follow the OpenJFX documentation:
https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#introduction
#### Q: Can you add pictures?
A: I would like to as I find them easy to follow as well, but I can’t be bothered.
#### Q: Can I contrubute?
A: Just make a Pull Request and I'll probably merge it.
#### Q: My machine is now broken.
A: That’s not a question, and I don’t care reset your machine and try again.
#### Q: You stole this from openjfx.io.
A: Yes, yes I did. Though I did it because I / the people I wrote this for found it easier to follow.
(P.S. Please go check these guys out they’ve done tones for the FX community)
