INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


INSTALLATION FROM SNAP STORE ON LINUX

The easiest way to install Keepboard on Linux is to grab it from Snap Store (or search for it in the software center and alike in your distro that includes Snap Store as a source):
https://snapcraft.io/keepboard

Or simply install it via command line:
sudo snap install keepboard

Snap takes care of the rest and Keepboard does not require any additional permissions or configuration (it saves all data only locally and does not need network access nor disk access apart from its snap-confined directory), so just launch it after installation. After that it can be activated when needed by clicking on its icon in the system tray or more handily by pressing the Ctrl + ` (back tick) global hotkey.


STANDALONE INSTALLATION (all platforms)

Java Runtime Environment, version 9 or newer, is needed to run Keepboard. Also, depending on your OS settings, you may have to grant Keepboard the permissions to run and to write the data to its folder, as well as the necessary permissions to auto-paste content to other applications if you would like to utilize this feature too (enabled by default).

LINUX:
Run the start.sh script to launch Keepboard (you may have to grant the 'execute' permission to this file).

WINDOWS: 
Run the Start.VBS script to launch Keepboard.

MAC:
Run the Keepboard.app to launch Keepboard. Depending on how you downlaoded and unpacked Keepboard archive, newer versions of Mac OS might translocate the application path internally. If that happens (an error stating that start.sh script cannot be found), to make the application run from the folder where you moved it (so it finds the jar, scripts and writes data to the Keepboard folder only), navigate via command line to the Keepboard directory and execute: 
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine Keepboard.app

UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

Exit Keepboard if it is started. Copy new version files into the existing Keepboard folder (overwrite existing files).
Keepboard saves all user data in its working folder ('history' and 'prefs' folders), so previous version data will not be lost.
