directory has been extracted from the zip file, you should see several
files in the directory. Of interest at this point are the jar and exe files.
If you are running on a Windows® based computer, you can simply
double click on the jGnash2.exe
file to start jGnash. If you want, you can also double click
on the jGnash2.jar
file as an alternate means for starting the application.
If you are running on a Unix based system you can start jGnash from a terminal as shown below. Alternatively, you can create your own application launcher in your desktop environment of choice.
