I just installed 4.1.x on SimplyMEPIS 7.0\_32 using the manual method. After executing ‘java -jar servoy\_installer.jar’ everything seemed to proceed without error. However, I cannot find the servoy\_developer.sh file to run.
Where is it located?
Thanks, Steve

Silly me. It’s now an executable file called simply servoy.

Hi Steve,
Are you sure you are looking in the application\_server directory and not the developer directory ?
I believe the file is still named servoy\_server.sh .

You will notice there is no servoy\_developer.sh anywhere, but there is an
executable servoy file in the developer directory. Strange.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,
I guess I should read better, you were referring to servoy\_ **developer**.sh and not servoy\_ **server**.sh .
By the way, big chance that that servoy file is indeed a binary and not a shell script since this is in fact Eclipse.

You’re probably right about its being a binary.

Steve,
Wgen starting servoy on Linux you have to make sure that you are in the developer directory, developer is started using:
```auto
cd /path/to/servoy/developer
./servoy
```
