GoGui can be invoked with the command:
java -jar gogui.jar [options] [file]
The command line for executing the actual Go program can be given
with the -program
option, otherwise GoGui will start with
the Go program attached in the previous run, or without Go program if there
was none attached.
You can attach and detach a Go program at any time by using the
and
menu item from the
menu.
See gogui(1) for a complete listing of the possible
options to gogui
.
For Unix systems, there are launcher scripts in the
bin
directory.
The launcher scripts respect the environment variable
GOGUI_JAVA_HOME
, if defined, and look for the jar files
in ../lib
relative to the bin
directory.
You can add the bin
directory of GoGui to your
PATH
environment variable.
The invocation is then simply:
gogui [options] [file]
To register GoGui as a handler
for SGF
files, you can configure a new file association for type
application/x-go-sgf
and filename pattern
*.sgf
to execute
gogui
.
