Manual Install

tip

Docker is more recommended.

Install OpenJDK​

Use your package manager to install OpenJDK 21 or higher (here is an example using apt):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-21-jdk-headless -y

Verify the installation:

java -version

If the installation is successful, you will see output similar to the following:

openjdk version "xx.xx.xxx" 2024-01-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build xxxxxxx)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build xxxxxxx, mixed mode, sharing)

Download Jar​

Download the jar and libraries.tar.gz from Release.

Unzip them into a same directory.

Using the following command to launch PBH：

java -Xmx512M -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+ShrinkHeapInSteps -jar <jar file>

PBH will automatically detect the desktop environment and enable the GUI if supported, but the GUI may fail to initialize on some devices. In such cases, manually disable the GUI:

java -Xmx512M -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+ShrinkHeapInSteps -jar <jar file> nogui
