Question

Is there a way to install Jitterbit Studio on Ubuntu 18.04?

Answer 1

For anyone trying to install JtterbitStudio 9.3 on Ubuntu 18.04, I prepared a recipe and I though on shearing it here. I haven't got the time to test thoroughly but seems to work ok.

First you need java (In case you don't have it already):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java;
sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer;
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default;
java -version;

    java version "1.8.0_171"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)

NOTE: put these in your .profile or .bashrc

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle;
export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre;

Once Java is installed you need to download Jitterbit Studio for Mac OS X:

wget https://download.jitterbit.com/9.3b4TWcqvuVw45UdxQ/JitterbitStudio-9.3.1.3.dmg

We are going to need dmg2img to convert the dmg package into a usable filesystem image in order to mount it.

sudo apt-get install dmg2img;
dmg2img JitterbitStudio-9.3.1.3.dmg JitterbitStudio-9.3.1.3.img;
sudo mount -o loop -t hfsplus JitterbitStudio-9.3.1.3.img /mnt;
cd /mtn;

copy the "Jitterbit Studio 9.3.app" directory to it's final destination (I used my home directory):

cp -rp 'Jitterbit Studio 9.3.app' $HOME;
cd $HOME;
cd 'Jitterbit Studio 9.3.app'/Contents/MacOS;
cp launch-studio launch-studio.mac;

Edit the startup shell script:

vi launch-studio;

12d11
<   osascript -e "tell app \"System Events\" to display dialog \"$msg\""
15c14
< APP=$(mdfind kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier=="com.jitterbit.studio93" | head -1)
---
> APP="$HOME/Jitterbit Studio 9.3.app"; export APP
49c48
<     err=$("$JRE" -client $STARTUP_ARGUMENTS -splash:"$JITTERBIT_CLIENT_HOME/splashscreen.png" -Xdock:icon="$APP/Contents/Resources/client_icon_256_mac.icns" -classpath "$libdir/*:$JITTERBIT_CLIENT_HOME/configuration/" com.jitterbit.integration.client.osx.Jitterbit)
---
>     err=$("$JRE" -client $STARTUP_ARGUMENTS -splash:"$JITTERBIT_CLIENT_HOME/splashscreen.png" -classpath "$libdir/*:$JITTERBIT_CLIENT_HOME/configuration/" com.jitterbit.integration.client.osx.Jitterbit)

chmod 755 launch-studio;

and run it:

./launch-studio;

Hope this helps some one.

In short, no. Linux is not supported for our (Jitterbit) desktop studio. It will be supported for the cloud studio that is in the works, though (since that will be web based).

It does look like you created a workaround.
