BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Note this doesn’t copy as per your script BlackBoard.jar into /home/user name/ blackboard/dist /lib

Your instructions say to run issue this command
java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar dist/lib/BlackBoard.jar presuming you are of course in the correct directory

As per your instructions which are as follows

Installing under Unixoides (Linux, BSD, MacOS)

Fisrt of all unzip the archive

then copy the needed files

$ cp -R models/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R symbols/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R samples/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R parts/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R datasheets/ ~/.BlackBoard
$ cp -R simulators/ ~/.BlackBoard

Running

This creates a zip file in /home/user-name /blackboard/dist/blackboard-bin-1.1.4.0.zip

So going back to your set of instructions this again wont work

Could you please advise

Thank you

Mark

For me the installation on ubuntu 16.04 does not work following such instructions. The start stops when "Loading module addTextCommand"
