Installation for a single user

If you do not have root permission or you prefer to install JamaicaVM local in your home directory instead of /usr/local, proceed as follows:

You need to download the Jamaica tar-archive named Jamaica-.tar.gz. Then, you can unpack and install it using tar. You have to set the environment variable JAMAICA to reflect the installation directory.

   > tar zxf Jamaica-2.0-3-linux-gnu.tar.gz
   > tar -xpf Jamaica.ss
   > export JAMAICA=`pwd`/usr/local/jamaica-2.0-3
   > export PATH=$JAMAICA/bin:$PATH
   > jamaica -help
   jamaica [-help] [-Xhelp] [-version] ...
   > ...
