how to run sikuli without normal installation

I even tried by defining CLASSPATH variable to execute Sikuli-IDE.bat, but with no success.

C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\t1>echo %CLASSPATH%
C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\jintellitype-1.3.2.jar;C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\junit-3.8.1.jar;C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\sikuli-ide.jar;C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\sikuli-script.jar;C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\swing-layout-1.0.1.jar;C:\RND\jre1.6.0_05\Sikuli\commons-cli-1.2.jar;

As far as I know, you have to take the portable version (...zip) as a base, where you have to start sikuli using the .bat.
Next you have to use a portable version of java (Google: portable java)

Put both on a stick or in a directory (to be sure, it should be a machine, that does not have java and Sikuli)

Then just modify Sikuli-IDE.bat so that java.exe is taken from the portable version directory. you may delete the @echo off to see everything. Go to the portable Sikuli directory and start the modified .bat.

Worked for me with Win7 and WinXP (with the latest java version and Sik10.2)

just download the zipped package and don't use the contained .exe - use the .bat instead and tailor it to your needs.
http://launchpad.net/sikuli/trunk/0.10.2/+download/Sikuli-IDE-win32-0.10.2.zip

Thanks for the workaround. I'll work with it.

Dear Friends,

I downloaded this file and there is no java inside the zipped package, will it still work by only extracting it in any computer which there is no or old version of java installed?

Thanks

@Jeff
this was based on the latest version of Sikuli before Sikuli X.

look comment #2, how to do this with the zipped version of the current version (which never contains any Java system).

To run, Sikuli always needs a Java Runtime Environment, but it does not matter, how you manage to get it n the machine, before using Sikuli.

Dear Raiman,

Thanks for the reply.

So that means, after install JRE, we just need to copy the zip contents to a folder and run the bat file along with the path of .skl and it will do the job?

Thanks

@Jeff

the standard path entries are also needed:

path-to-sikuli-installation-directory\libs;path-to-java-installation-directory\jre6\bin

this might be added to the .bat.

Can i successfully use sikuli if create a installer which just paste sikuli Jar files and DLL file under the programfile folder and install java also on the same machine. Or i need to register sikuli DLL files or any thing else in registry to work with sikuli.

If there is any workaround or any other way please suggest.

Thanks in advance

Appreciate experts Responses.

@ paramveer

--- a minimum Sikuli setup to run Sikuli scripts:

Windows:

--- Sikuli program folder
C:\Program Files\Sikuli X
must contain sikuli-script.jar

--- Sikuli DLL folder
C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\libs
must contain the content of the libs folder of a complete installation

--- System path entries needed
C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\libs
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6

--- optional environment variable
%SIKULI_HOME% = C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\
with trailing backslash

C:\Program Files\Sikuli X
can be any other folder, as long as the environment is set correctly.

--- run a script
java -jar sikuli-script.jar path-to-some.sikuli

sorry, I have to correct:

java -jar C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar path-to-some.sikuli

if you do not have a class path setting for sikuli-script.jar somewhere in the Java environment.
