Alchemist stand-alone

Although we recommend to run the simulator via Gradle, Alchemist can be executed through the redistributable jar file.

Such jar file can be downloaded from the releases section on github.

Obtain the runnable jar of alchemist-full from GitHub, the open a terminal and move to the folder where the jar is located, then issue:

java -jar alchemist-full-VERSION-all.jar --help

Remember to substitute VERSION with the Alchemist version you actually have downloaded. You can still use alchemist in a modularized form using jars. In this case, use alchemist-VERSION-all.jar and all the jars corresponding to the modules you need. Pass them to the java command as classpath, e.g.:

java -cp alchemist-VERSION-all.jar:alchemist-incarnation-protelis-VERSION-all.jar:alchemist-swingui-VERSION-all.jar it.unibo.alchemist.Alchemist --help

Under Windows, the separator is ; in place of :

This command will print information on the available command line options.
