Headless (console mode) I2P installation instructions 1) java -jar i2pinstall.exe -console (you've already done this) This will run the installer in text mode, including running the postinstall.sh script. After that, you may run 'sh i2prouter start' which will start the router and attempt to launch a browser. If you do not have an X server running, the browser launch may fail, and you may use: lynx http://localhost:7657/ to configure the router. If you're having trouble, check the website at https://geti2p.net/, or get on irc://irc.freenode.net/#i2p I2P will create and store files and configuration data in the user directory ~/.i2p/ on Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\I2P\ on Windows. This directory is created when I2P is run for the first time. It also creates files in the system temporary directory specified by the Java Virtual Machine. To change the location of these directories, or to configure I2P to put all files in this directory (the so-called "portable" configuration), edit the files i2prouter (Linux) and wrapper.config (Linux and Windows) where there are comments labeled "PORTABLE". Do this before you run I2P for the first time. To start I2P: (*nix, BSD, Mac): sh i2prouter start (win*): I2P.exe (platforms without wrapper support): sh runplain.sh To stop I2P (gracefully): lynx http://localhost:7657/summaryframe (click "Shutdown") or (*nix, BSD, Mac) sh i2prouter graceful To stop I2P immediately: (*nix, BSD, Mac) sh i2prouter stop To uninstall I2P: rm -rf $I2PInstallDir ~/.i2p Supported JVMs: All platforms: Java 1.8 or higher required Windows: OpenJDK or Oracle from http://java.com/download Linux: OpenJDK or Oracle from http://java.com/download FreeBSD: OpenJDK or Oracle from http://java.com/download Other operating systems and JVMs: See https://geti2p.net/download
