How to install a binary distribution?

Question

Microsoft

Help install Walrus binary distribution. https://www.caida.org/tools/visualization/walrus/ I don't even know what a binary distribution is. Should it be compiled?

Answer 1

Binary is already compiled.
There is a guide.txt file in the archive in the docs folder, which tells how to use it.
Java and Java3D must also be installed .
It didn't work for me right away. But I copied jars from C:\Program Files\Java\Java3D\1.5.1\lib\ext to walrus folder. Then in the terminal I entered:

export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Java/Java3D/1.5.1/bin
java -cp 'mp.jar;antlrall-mod.jar;libsea.jar;walrus.jar;j3dcore.jar;j3dutils.jar;vecmath.jar' H3Main

Launch succeeded.
