Overview

PShell is a scripting environment for experiments developed at PSI.

The latest stable build (pshell--fat.jar) can be download from here.

Requirements

The only requirement for running PShell is Java:

  • Version from 1.15 onward require Java 11 or superior.
  • Versions up to 1.14 require Java 8 or superior.

The JDK is needed if using dynamic plugins (compiled on-the-fly).

Netbeans is required for visually editing graphical plugins.

  • Version from 1.15 onward require Netbeans 11.3 or superior.
  • Versions up to 1.14 require Netbeans 8 or superior.

Building

The JAR file pshell--fat.jar can be built executing:

./gradlew build

After executing the build command, the file pshell--fat.jar is located in the folder ./build/libs.

Launching

Launch the application typing:

java -jar pshell-<version>-fat.jar <startup options...>

Or else just double-click the jar file, if the system has an automatic java application launcher.

Note: The optional parameter -home=[path] sets the home folder - the default folder for configuration, context, plugins and data. If this parameter is omitted, it is set to ./home. In the first run the default folder structure is created. Individual paths can be set in {home}/config/setup.properties.

Note: Check the help contents for the other startup options.

Help

PShell Help Contents are also available in the application, menu "Help".
