Well, I wanted to use JabRef a while ago but to my surprise, the version I installed from the repository of my gnu/linux distribution (Linux Mint 19.1) disappeared. I guess I loaded the program the weekend I debugged certain orphan packages.
So it was easy for me to go to JabRef's site and download version 4.3.1 and as usual, I moved the .jar file to /opt but when I wanted to run it as I used to do (after a cd /opt/) with sudo java -jar JabRef-4.3.1 it throws an error: Error: the main class org.jabref.JabRefMain was not found or loaded Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javafx/application/Application I want to clarify that I've been reading the documentation here https://docs.jabref.org/general/installation so I read about the installation of Ubuntu and OpenJDK and did it as explained, even retaining the version of the package installed to avoid future problems. However, it seems that the way I know how to call JabRef from the terminal is outdated, and I couldn't find in the documentation any explanation of how to do it now, worse, neither how to call JabRef without it being from the terminal. I would like to know what I am doing wrong and how to use JabRef 4.3.1 on my computer.
