Launching the application

During the installation pipenv automatically created a virtual environment for the project. However, for launching the application, you don't need to activate it manually every time.

Linux

Enter the project directory and launch caller.sh. It'll launch the application in its virt. env.

Windows

Enter the project directory and launch start.bat.

Launching the application from anywhere

In the previous we saw how to launch the application from the project directory. But what if you want to launch it from a different folder? How can you call JiVE from anywhere?

Linux

In the folder launchers, you can find a launcher script called jive. Copy it to a folder that is in your PATH.

Tip: in my HOME folder I have a subdirectory called bin that is in my PATH. Thus, I copied jive to ~/bin.

The content of jive is just one line:

~/Dropbox/python/JiVE-Image-Viewer/caller.sh "$@"

Customize the path of caller.sh in this file if your project directory is located somewhere else.

Then, launching JiVE is trivial:

$ jive

Windows

In the folder launchers, you can find a launcher script called jive.bat. Copy it to a folder that is in your PATH.

The content of jive.bat is just a few lines:

cd C:\Dropbox\python\JiVE-Image-Viewer

pipenv run python start.py %1

Customize the path of the project folder in the first line.

Then, launching JiVE is trivial:

$ jive.bat

Tips

If you get the annoying "Open File - Security Warning" on .bat files, here is how to disable it:
