Description
For command line use.
In the appdir (on Windows and Linux this is the installation folder) is a bin folder with the command line launch scripts:
jalview.sh
jalview.bat
jalview.ps1
(and also the update scripts, update.sh etc).
In linux a symbolic link is made from somewhere appropriate to jalview.sh. The symbolic link could be jalview, jalview_develop, etc.
The symbolic link to update.sh is named update_jalview, update_jalview_develop etc.
In macOS, similarly named symbolic links are made in JalviewX.app/Contents/MacOS and for a system install this path is put in a file in /etc/paths.d.
In Windows, there are no symbolic links and the PATH for the user or system is adjusted by Install4j to add the appdir/bin folder.
So that "jalview_develop" etc is available a copy of jalview.bat and jalview.ps1 to jalview_develop.bat and jalview_develop.ps1 is made (and also the update.bat and update.ps1).
These copies are made at install time, and are not updated in getdown.
They could be in the future.
