**Make sure to install Java 8 first (see Java SE Downloads)**


To install Supzy:


1. Extract the zip file to the location where you want the Supzy Application (e.g. /home/[user]/). A "Supzy" folder will be created.


2. Run Supzy from the command line. Enter

/[path to Java 8 folder]/bin/java -jar [path to Supzy folder]/Supzy.jar and execute command.

(Example command where both Supzy and Java 8 are found in the home folder: /home/[user]/jre1.8.0_20/bin/java -jar Supzy/Supzy.jar)


3. Supzy will launch and place an icon in your system tray.




If you're using Xfce, you can create a launcher on the desktop or on a panel.


To create a launcher on the desktop:


1. Right-click the desktop, select “Create Launcher”.


2. In the window, enter name (Supzy), comment (e.g. "Launch Supzy using Java 8"), and command (see example command above). Select an icon if you wish. Click "Create".


3. Click your new launcher to start Supzy.  Supzy will then place an icon in your system tray.


To create a launcher on a panel:


1. Right-click the panel, select "Panel", click "Add New Items", select "Launcher", then click "Add".


2. Right-click the launcher that was just added to the panel, click "Properties". In the launcher window, click the icon for "Add a new empty item" (hover over icon to see the description). In "Create Launcher" window, enter name (Supzy), comment (e.g. "Launch Supzy using Java 8"), and command (see example command above). Select an icon if you wish. Click "Create".


3. Click the launcher in the panel to start Supzy. Supzy will then place an icon in your system tray.


How to get Supzy to launch at computer startup (in Xfce):


1. Go to “Settings”, then “Session and Startup”.


2. Select tab “Application Autostart”. Click “Add”. Enter name (Supzy), description (e.g. Launch Supzy), and command. Click “OK”.


3. Make sure “Supzy” is checked in the list. Supzy will now launch when the computer starts, and Supzy will place an icon in your system tray.
