These instructions install the pre-compiled binary distribution. The pre-compiled release is at:
The binary release comes as a .zip archive that includes Kawa itself (as a
.jar file $KAWA_HOME/lib/kawa.jar), some third-party helper libraries,
kawa command scripts (for GNU/Linux/Unix/MacOS or Windows), and documentation
(basically this manual). The .zip file unzips into a directory named
kawa-3.1.1 with lib, bin, and doc sub-directories. Place this directory
somewhere suitable and name the location ‘KAWA_HOME’. The binary release
requires Java 8 or later. If you want to use Kawa as part of some other
application, you just need the ‘$KAWA_HOME/lib/kawa.jar’.
