Taxonomic Editor Download Site¶
The most recent version of the Taxonomic Editor will always be available here.
Downloads¶
http://cybertaxonomy.org/download/taxeditor/stable/
System requirements¶
The current version of the Editor has been tested on:
Windows 10
Linux Ubuntu 21
We recommend your computer have at least 512 MB RAM.
The Editor is programmed in Java, and requires Java Standard Edition 8. There is a "Java" area under Windows Systems and Settings - click on Application Information to see which version you have installed.
Installation and updates¶
The downloadable .zip file contains a complete directory structure. Unzip the file to a location of your choosing, e.g. C:\TaxEditor@, and double-click @Taxonomic Editor.exe
to start the Editor.
To install an updated version, download the latest zip and write to the same directory, overwriting the files already on your hard drive.
Installing and manually updating the local database¶
When the Editor is run for the first time, the local database is created in the user's Windows directory, i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\@_username_@\.cdmLibrary\writableResources\h2\LocalH2@, or @C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\@_username_@\.cdmLibrary\writableResources\h2\LocalH2
for our German friends.
Since it is in a different location than the Editor directory, the local database remains untouched when the Editor is updated.
The local database consists of 4 files whose names are in the format cdm.*.db@. To use CDM data that has been specifically prepared for this purpose, delete the the @cdm.*.db
files from the LocalH2
directory, then copy the pre-prepared 4 files.
