How do I install Briss-2.0? I don't see a gradlew folder in the Briss2.0 extracted zip

./gradlew doesn't refer to a folder, but to an executable file which is included in the downloaded zip. Did you try using a terminal of sorts to run the command?

@hub2git I guess you just want to use Briss 2.0? Then you can download the alpha release here: https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/releases/tag/v2.0-alpha

The build instructions are only needed to compile Briss from the source code.

`yes, i just want to use Briss 2.0. I downloaded Briss-2.0.zip <https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/releases/download/v2.0-alpha/Briss-2.0.zip> ( https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/releases/download/v2.0-alpha/Briss-2.0.zip) to a Windows computer at the computer lab. I then extracted the zip. I open up Command Prompt and execute the Briss-2.0.bat. I see this: \Briss-2.0.bat Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: at/laborg/briss/Briss : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(Unknown Source)

@hub2git
you can try my versions https://github.com/raydac/Briss-2.0/releases/tag/2.0-SNAPSHOT

@hub2git which version of Java do you have installed?
This error normally shows up when you are using a Java version lower than Java 8.
Could you try running it with Java 8? Currently there is an issue with newer versions of Java which I will try to fix.

i'm not a real techie person and i'm afraid of messing with my computer. Plus, it appears that briss2.0 doesn't really add any cropping features to briss 0.9. so i might just stick with briss 0.9.

[mbaeuerle]

@hub2git yes you are right, you are not missing out on new features in Briss 2.0, it is currently just a GUI overhaul.
Nevertheless I just created a new version, you could give it a try: https://github.com/mbaeuerle/Briss-2.0/releases/tag/v2.0-alpha-2

On the school computer (Windows 10), it doesn't work. Maybe because I don't have admin privileges.

[mbaeuerle]

@hub2git admin privileges should not be needed to run Briss. Could you please check which version of Java you have installed?
