Linux

    • Open a terminal and run: 
      sudo apt update && sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre  # For Debian/Ubuntu
# OR
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk                   # For Fedora/CentOS

  1. Download BURAI
    • Visit BURAI Releases.
    • Download BURAI-1.3.1.jar (the executable JAR file).
  2. Create a Dedicated Folder

  3. Run BURAI
    • Double-click the JAR file. If Java is installed, it should launch.
    • If it doesn’t open:
      • Right-click the JAR file → Open With → Java(TM) Platform SE binary.
  4. Create a Desktop Shortcut (Optional)
    • Right-click the JAR file → Send to → Desktop (create shortcut).
    • Rename the shortcut to BURAI.

      wget https://github.com/BURAI-team/burai/releases/download/ver.1.3.1/BURAI-1.3.1.jar
