Headless I2P installation instructions 1) java -jar i2pinstall.exe -console (you've already done this) This will run the installer in text mode, including running the postinstall.sh script. After that, you may run 'sh i2prouter start' which will start the router and attempt to launch a browser. If you do not have an X server running, the browser launch will probably fail, and you may use: lynx http://localhost:7657/index.jsp to configure the router. If you're having trouble, swing by http://forum.i2p2.de/, check the website at http://www.i2p2.de/, or get on irc://irc.freenode.net/#i2p I2P will create and store files and configuration data in the user directory ~/.i2p/ on Linux and %APPDATA%\I2P\ on Windows. This directory is created when I2P is run for the first time. It also creates files in the system temporary directory specified by the Java Virtual Machine. To change the location of these directories, or to configure I2P to put all files in this directory (the so-called "portable" configuration), edit the files i2prouter (Linux) and wrapper.config (Linux and Windows) where there are comments labeled "PORTABLE". Do this before you run I2P for the first time. To run I2P explicitly: (*nix): sh i2prouter start (win*): I2P.exe To stop the router (gracefully): lynx http://localhost:7657/configservice.jsp ("Shutdown gracefully") To stop the router (immediately): sh i2prouter stop To uninstall I2P: rm -rf $i2pInstallDir Supported JVMs: Windows: Latest available from http://java.sun.com/ (1.5+ supported) Linux: Latest available from http://java.sun.com/ (1.5+ supported) FreeBSD: Sun 1.5-compatible (NIO required) various: http://www.kaffe.org/ Sun 1.5-compatible (NIO required)
