Binaries
Java 11 vs. Java 8
Since version 1.0.0, CloudStore supports Java 11 and all its JARs contain a module-java.class.
CloudStore 1.0.0 should work with both Java 11 and Java 8 (actually even Java 7 should still be supported). But this was not yet properly tested. Therefore, we currently do not (yet) automatically update from CloudStore 0.x.
If you freshly download & install CloudStore 1.x and encounter problems with Java 8 (or 7), please give version 0.x a try. You find the newest 0.x-release on the releases page.
Client
- tar.gz (recommended)
- zip (if you really cannot open tar.gz files)
Server
- tar.gz (recommended)
- zip (if you really cannot open tar.gz files)
Important: Only stable versions are signed. It is thus normal that you get a 404 error when trying to download a signature for a SNAPSHOT version. We simply do not sign snapshots. They are for testing only and should not be used productively, anyway.
Verifying downloads via OpenPGP signatures
It is urgently recommended that you verify the downloaded binary files. If you don't, you might receive files with undesired additional features - spying on you or otherwise abusing your computer.
To verify a file, simply download the corresponding OpenPGP signature file. Both files should be located in the same directory.
Then open a console, switch to the directory containing the downloads and verify them using these commands:
cd ~/Downloads
gpg co.codewizards.cloudstore.client-1.0.0-bin.tar.gz.sig
gpg co.codewizards.cloudstore.server-1.0.0-bin.tar.gz.sig
Of course, you need the OpenPGP public key which was used for signing. The CodeWizards' keys can be found here on the CodeWizards web-site.
After downloading a key (e.g. 0x4AB0FBC1.asc), you have to import it into your local key ring.
With gpg, you can do this with the following command:
gpg --import 0x4AB0FBC1.asc
If you use a different OpenPGP implementation (i.e. not gpg), then please consult its documentation about importing keys and verifying signatures.
