Run with the Jar file ​

TIP

You need Java version 17+ to run Tankobon. Check your version with java -version.

You can run Tankobon from the fat jar file. You can download them in the releases section.

In order to run Tankobon, use the following command (replace x.y.z with the actual version number).

console
$ java -jar tankobon-x.y.z.jar

Once Tankobon is started, you can access the web client.

TIP

On Windows, you can use javaw instead of java while running to launch Tankobon without a command prompt window appearing.

Increase memory limit ​

By default the java process will be limited in the maximum amount of memory (RAM) it can use, which is usually 1GB. If you encounter some OutOfMemoryException in the logs, you will probably need to increase the maximum memory Tankobon can use.

To do so, you can use the -Xmx<limit> command line flag, where <limit> can be any amount like 2048m, 4g etc. For example, to run Tankobon with a maximum of 4GB of memory:

console
$ java -jar -Xmx4g tankobon-x.y.z.jar

Updating ​

To update just stop Tankobon, then start it with the latest jar.
