    11  * **Which version should I use?** (see also: [wiki:Releases release system])
    12    * ''tested'' is released approx. monthly and shouldn't contain severe bugs
    13    * ''latest'' is released daily, may have more errors
    14    * If possible, use the Web Start version in order to automatically update.
    15 * Verify josm.jar with jarsigner

    20  * **Note that there are fairly regular updates, so always try running a recent version (and also recent plugins).**
    21  * Access [/download/josm.jnlp JOSM-WebStart] without installation
    22  * Download the **[/josm-tested.jar tested JOSM ]** version [[Version(tested)]]
    23  * Download the [/download/windows/josm-setup.exe Windows JOSM installer] version [[Version(windows)]]
    24  * Download the [/download/macosx/josm-macosx.zip Mac OS X JOSM package] version [[Version(macos)]]
    25  * Prepare a [wiki:USB_Stick USB flash drive] to use JOSM on any foreign Windows machine.
    26  * For download scripts use version check for [/latest latest] and [/tested tested] (or [/version both]) to reduce download bandwith
    27  * If download size is an issue you may append ‘?lang=…’ to the download link address for both releases to strip unused translations (e.g. ‘?lang=de’ will download JOSM in German language only).
    28   * **Note**: Use underscore to separate [[Translations|language codes]] with country code extensions, e.g. ‘?lang=en_GB’

    31 == Mac OS X Mountain Lion Errors ==
    32 [[Image(#8787:damaged_josm_app.png,align=right,margin-top=-35)]]
    33  This misleading error message may appear: **JOSM.app is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.**
    34 
    35  To complete the install enter OS X Preferences, visit 'Security & Privacy', and change the settings to allow downloads from 'anywhere'.
    36 
    37  After JOSM runs the first time you can return the setting to the original position.
    38 
    39 
    40 == Development Version ==
    41 
    42  * Download the **[/josm-latest.jar latest JOSM]** version [[Version(latest)]] (may have more errors than "tested", be careful with this one).
    43 
    44 
    45 == Applet ==

    70 == Ubuntu repository ==#Ubuntu
    71 
    72 The repository for Ubuntu contains two packages:
    73  {{{josm}}}:: ''The tested version''[[br]]
    74   Replaces the package from the official Ubuntu repository.
    75  {{{josm-latest}}}:: ''The development version (nightly build)''[[br]]
    76  Can be installed parallel to the {{{josm}}} package. The default preference folder is {{{~/.josm-latest}}}.
    77

     19Every [/roadmap month] the team of JOSM [wikitr:/Releases releases] a **tested version** for download.
     20The MS Windows and Apple macOS variants are built on this tested version.
     21When you click on josm.jnlp to launch JOSM you will always get the newest tested version. Java's [wikitr:/InstallNotes#Webstart Web Start] is the mechanism behind this.
     22
     23[=#DevelopmentVersion]
     24Every [/log/josm/?verbose=on&limit=20 night] the build systems generate a **latest version**.
     25These versions might have severe errors. But mostly they work well, too.
     26For the latest version is also a Web Start variant available.

     52When running scripts please first check on [/latest latest], [/tested tested] or [/version all] to reduce download bandwidth.
     53
     54** Strip translations **[=#Striptranslations]  \\
     55If download size is an issue, smaller files of the tested version are available. For downloads containing only English append [/josm-tested.jar?lang=en ?lang=en] to the URL. To include one translation replace `en` with the [wikitr:/TracLanguages language code] you want (lowercase first character, supported languages only). You can further reduce the file size by stripping the signing information off with appending [/josm-tested.jar?lang=en&unsigned=1 ?unsigned=1].

     58== Linux Repositories ==
     59=== JOSM's Debian based mainly for Ubuntu ===#Ubuntu
     60This is our own package repository primarily for Ubuntu. It should also work with other Debian based (especially Ubuntu based) distributions, but we do not actively test and maintain any distributions other than Ubuntu.
     61
     62The repository contains two packages:
     63* ''josm'' – Provides the tested version (stable). Replaces the package from the official repository of your distribution. The default JOSM directories name is set to `JOSM`.
     64* ''josm-latest'' – The latest version (nightly). Can be installed in parallel to the josm package, therefore the default JOSM directories name is set to `JOSM-latest`.
     65Both packages provide `/etc/default/josm` respectively `/etc/default/josm-latest` as config file for [wikitr:Help/CommandLineOptions#Javaoptions java options].
     66
     67In addition to the regular procedure described below, older DEBs can be manually downloaded from the [/apt/pool/universe/j/ archives].
     68
     69==== Installation ====
     70Edit the package resource list `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/josm.list`:
     71{{{#!sh
     72sudo editor /etc/apt/sources.list.d/josm.list

    8778
    8879and add one of the following lines according to your Ubuntu-Version:

     92
     93Alternatively, this can be done with the following one-liner in Ubuntu (not for Ubuntu based distributions like Linux Mint):
     94{{{#!sh

     96}}}
     97or for Linux Mint:
     98{{{#!sh

    109 }}}
    110 
    111 Download and register the [[/josm-apt.key|public key]]:
     105{{{#!sh

     109
     110Download the [/josm-apt.key public key]:
     111{{{#!sh
     112# Create the directory for manually downloaded keys if it was not already created
     113sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/keyrings
     114# Download the key

     116}}}
     117In the past, instructions used `apt-key`. If the key was added to system's keyring, following line will remove it:
     118{{{#!sh
     119sudo apt-key del $(apt-key list | grep -B1  "<josm-dev@openstreetmap.org>" | sed '$d' | cut -b 48-51,53-57)
     120}}}
     121
     122Now refresh your sources:
     123{{{#!sh
     124# You may need to install ssl support for apt in advance:
     125sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
     126# Refresh sources
     127sudo apt-get update
     128}}}
     129
     130and install:
     131{{{#!sh
     132# You can skip this first line if these packages were not installed before.
     133sudo apt-get remove josm josm-plugins
     134
     135# For the tested version
     136sudo apt-get install josm
     137# For the development version
     138sudo apt-get install josm-latest
     139}}}
     140
     141
     142=== GNU Debian ===#GNUDebian
     143Our own Ubuntu packages, [#Ubuntu above], work on Debian and we recommend to use them. Depending on the setup of `sudo`, some instruction will not work as "normal" user but only as `root`.
     144
     145The tested version of [https://packages.debian.org/stable/josm JOSM] is available under **''main''** in section **''utils''**, but the version is usually quite old. \\
     146Please, use the [https://backports.debian.org backports repository] to get a more up-to-date version, see [https://backports.debian.org/Instructions Instructions]. This version might still be older than our own packages.
     147
     148Since Debian 11 (bullseye) the [https://packages.debian.org/stable/josm-installer josm-installer] is available under **''main''** in section **''utils''**. It downloads the current .jar file from this site and updates it if necessary.
     149
     150=== openSUSE  ===#Opensuse
     151The tested version of JOSM is available in the Application:Geo repository.[=#openSUSE]
     152
     153First add as root user in yast or with zypper the repository (for Tumbleweed replace **$releasever** with **openSUSE_Tumbleweed**):
     154{{{#!sh
     155zypper ar -f 'https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/$releasever' Application:Geo
     156}}}
     157
     158Then simply install ''josm'' and ''josm-fonts'' package.
     159
     160
     161== Troubleshooting ==
     162=== Java ===#Java
     163When you double-click on a jar file and nothing happens in most cases this means Java isn't installed.
     164
     165JOSM now recommends [https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-21-lts&package=jdk-fx#zulu Azul] or [https://bell-sw.com/pages/downloads/?package=jre-full#mn Bellsoft Liberica] JDK's. Generally speaking, the current Java LTS should be preferred (at time of writing, that would be Java 17), but Java 11 will work. See the [source:/trunk/README README] for current recommendations. But first give the Java already distributed with the operating system a try, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK for example].
     166
     167
     168When choosing a download keep in mind:
     169 * A Java Plug-in for web browsers is **not** needed to run JOSM. Therefore results from pages like www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp are not relevant.
     170 * A Java variant with 64 bit is recommended for JOSM. The operating systems architecture is important for deciding between 32 bit Java or 64 bit Java. Because JOSM is **not** affected by the web browsers architecture most recommendations on this page www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml are not relevant.
     171 * Avoid pages like www.java.com/en/download which intent to place Java Plug-ins in web browsers. And this is **not** important for JOSM.
     172
     173For further information visit the [InstallNotes Installation Notes] and [https://www.java.com/en/download/help/troubleshoot_java.xml troubleshooting] pages.
     174''Java'' in this section means a JRE (Java Runtime Engine) which provides a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to run JOSM, a Java program that is developed using JDK (Java Development Kit) and sometimes launched with the JNLP (Java Network Launch Protocol aka Web Start and successor of Java Plug-ins).
     175
     176==== Testing Java ====#JavaTest
     177[=#Troubleshootingjarfile] Checks if Java is installed and why JOSM does not start (example mainly for MS Windows).
     1781. Download [/josm-tested.jar josm-tested.jar] to your desktop.
     1791. Open a Command Prompt aka Terminal
     1801. Type `cd %homepath%`⏎ and type `cd Desktop`⏎
     1811. Type `java -version `⏎ Three lines with the version data should appear. If you see something else then Java is not properly installed.
     1821. Type `java -jar josm-tested.jar`⏎. Now JOSM should run, started from the [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions Command Line].
     1831. Quit JOSM.
     1841. Type `josm-tested.jar`⏎. If JOSM starts again, the Windows Explorer is ready for double clicks on jar files.
     185
     186
     187=== Web Start ===#Webstart
     188[=#Troubleshootingjhlplink]
     189You need to install [https://openwebstart.com/ OpenWebStart] first. It will download and run Java by itself. Please use the 64 bit (`x64`) version of OpenWebStart if you are on Microsoft Windows. The transition from Oracle WebStart to OpenWebStart is still in progress, so in case of issue please create a [/newticket new ticket] or post a comment to #17858.
     190
     191You may need to update the default application for opening JNLP files if you previously used Oracle WebStart. See [https://openwebstart.com/docs/OWSGuide.html#_jnlp_file_association jnlp file association] for instructions on setting OpenWebStart as the default program for jnlp files.
     192
     193==== Testing Web Start ====#Webstarttest
     1941. Download [/download/josm.jnlp josm.jnlp] to your desktop.
     1951. Open a Terminal and move to the Desktop as above
     1961. Type `javaws josm.jnlp`⏎. This should initially download JOSM, show a security dialog and then launch JOSM.
     1971. If that fails, then type `javaws -verbose josm.jnlp`⏎. This should first show a dialog with information about the JVM and then launch JOSM.
     198
     199
     200=== Virtual Machine ===#Troubleshootingjvm
     201==== Out of memory ====
     202Nowadays manually controlling Javas memory is seldom needed because available RAM on computers has grown.
     203Wrongly chosen values can decrease JOSM performance.
     204
     205For some tasks, JOSM has a large appetite for memory. On the one hand, it may be necessary to configure a memory size that supports more plugins and features. On the other hand can slow machines be stabilized by restricting Javas memory use.
     206If needed, use the [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions command line] to set the [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html#GUID-3B1CE181-CD30-4178-9602-230B800D4FAE__BABHDABI Java Option] -Xmx…m, for example `-Xmx512m` or `-Xmx1536m`. In Debian/Ubuntu you can edit the file `/etc/default/josm` respectively `/etc/default/josm-latest`. \\
     207Formerly older java programs accepted `-Xmx=512m` or even `-Xmx 512m`. Now those malformed arguments throw error messages.
     208
     209==== VM selection ====#VMselectiononWindowsx64
     210On current versions of MS Windows by default Java is installed mainly in the `C:\Program Files\Java\` directory. Additional parts are placed in `C:\Program Files\Oracle\Java\`. There is a `.\javapath\` directory as target for the PATH environment variable. It is the home for the three virtual files `java.exe`, `javaw.exe` and `javaws.exe`. This files are symbolic links form the current Java installations.
     211
     212On older versions of 64 bit Windows sometimes the 32 bit mode JRE was additionally installed.  Also some browsers brought their own JVM with limited capabilities. In those cases a Web Start from the browser would not use your Java installation but that from the browser.
     213
     214Check that there's no other javawebstart in `\Windows\SysWow64`. The Java control panel will not detect it and you can safely delete it. Perform cleanup and only keep the latest versions of each JRE (One or the 32-bit mode, another one for the 64-bit mode).
     215
     216For shortcuts created on the desktop for JNLP and running the Javawebstart launcher , make sure to pass VM parameters prefixed with -J and no intermediate space before the VM option. If you have installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit version, you should pass the option "`-d64`" if you want to select the preferred 64-bit VM. Note that some Oracle documentation pages indicate the option "-D64" with the incorrect capitalization!)
     217
     218Example of an edited command line for a shortcut on the windows desktop:
    112219{{{

     224=== Microsoft Windows ===#MSWindows
     225==== josm.exe ====#Mswindowswrapper
     226Using josm-setup.exe for installation on Microsoft Windows does the following:
     227 * Puts two executable files `JOSM.exe` and `HWConsole.exe` in directory `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JOSM`
     228 * Registers JOSM.exe as target for the file extensions `*.osm`, `*.geojson`, `*.gpx`, `*.jos` and `*.joz`.
     229 * Places JOSM shortcut icons on the Desktop and in the Start Menu.
     230 * Adds uninstall data at the appropriate places.
     231
     232When starting, JOSM.exe starts JOSM with an embedded version of Java maintained by JOSM developers, based on Azul Zulu.
     233JOSM.exe acts as a ''wrapper'' and is [wikitr:/USB_Stick portable].
     234
     235HWConsole.exe is similar to JOSM.exe but start JOSM while keeping open a Windows console displaying JOSM standard output (logs).
     236
     237JOSM.exe accepts all usual [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions#Programarguments JOSM Program arguments]. See example:
     238
    118239{{{
    119240#!sh
    120 sudo apt-get update
    121 }}}
    122 and install:
    123  {{{josm}}}:: (You can skip the first line if you haven't installed these packages before.)
     241# Load OSM data
     242josm.exe https://www.osm.org/way/476702262
     243}}}
     244
     245For giving [wikitr:/Help/CommandLineOptions#Javaoptions Java options] to the Java VM, JOSM.exe uses the configuration file `JOSM.cfg` in its app sub-directory. In this file, each option must be on a separate line.
     246
     247For example, to change memory allocation, open `%LOCALAPPDATA%\JOSM\app\JOSM.cfg` and add `java-options=-Xmx8192m` (for 8 GB) to a new line under the `[JavaOptions]` header.
     248
     249==== Graphics ====#MicrosoftWindowsGraphics
     250Some Windows installations have graphics driver issues (see #23784 for an example). This may exhibit symptoms such as:
     251* Black bars in JOSM toolbars
     252* Flickering
     253* Other unexpected user interface issues
     254
     2551. Download and install Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU, [https://github.com/Wagnard/display-drivers-uninstaller source]) from the official mirror => https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-DDU-
     2562. From the "Device Type" drop-down on the right, select "GPU". DDU will automatically detect the GPU you're using.
     2573. Click on "Clean and Restart" at the top. This will uninstall the graphics drivers and restart your PC.
     2584. Reinstall the drivers.
     259
     260//**WARNING: Create a backup of your PC before using DDU. Although it creates a recovery point by itself, it's ideal to make one yourself just in case.**//

    138 
    139 If JOSM runs out of memory, you can increase the maximum size of allocated memory (400 MB in this example):
    140 {{{
    141 JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx400M" josm
    142 }}}
    143 
    144 Start with a different preference folder:
    145 {{{
    146 JAVA_OPTS="-Djosm.home=$HOME/.josm-tmp" josm
    147 }}}

    150 == VM selection on Windows x64 ==
    151 
    152 For Windows, beware that some browsers may install their own JRE only in 32 bit mode, but may also install their version of the Javawebstart tool somewhere else with different file associations. This may cause your JNLP to start with this alternate JRE because it runs the wrong version of Javawebstart which only supports the 32 bit VM, and sometimes is built with a restricted support for VM options and a max VM size not exceeding 256MB.
    153 
    154 Check, for example, if there's no other javawebstart in {{{\Windows\SysWow64}}}. You should not need it (the Java control panel will not detect it) and can safely delete it. Perfom cleanup and only keep the latest version of the JRE (1 for the 32-bit mode, another one for the 64-bit mode).
    155 
    156 For shortcuts created on the desktop for JNLP and running the Javawebstart launcher (from {{{\windows\system32}}}), make sure to pass VM parameters prefixed with -J and no intermediate space before the VM option. If you have installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit version, you should pass the option "{{{-d64}}}" if you want to select the preferred 64-bit VM. Note that some Oracle documentation pages indicate the option "-D64" with the incorrect capitalization!)
    157 
    158 Example of an edited commandline for the shortcut created on the windows desktop after running JOSM just once from the JNMP and exiting:
    159 {{{
    160 #!sh
    161 C:\Windows\System32\javaws.exe -J-d64 -Xmx=2048m -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm.jnlp "C:\Users\<snipped user name>\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\21\7311<snipped-hex-number>7f8"
    162 }}}
    163 You don't need to change the end of the command line with the snipped parts here. Just check the path for {{{javaws.exe}}} and add options {{{-J-d64}}} for the 64-bit mode needed to work with large OSM datasets, and {{{-Xmx=2048m}}} to increase the VM size (to 2GB here).

     269==== Using brew ====#brew
     270macOS users may use the [https://brew.sh/ homebrew] package manager to install and update their JOSM instance.
     271
     272In Terminal, run the `brew install --cask josm` to install or `brew upgrade --cask josm` to upgrade to the current tested version of JOSM.

     276Using AUR you can install [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openwebstart-bin openwebstart-bin].
     277
     278If you use [https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/icedtea-web/ icedtea-web] instead of the recommended openwebstart you will get an error with the newest java. java-17-openjdk is known to work, but java-22-openjdk do not.
