Select "Save file" and click "OK".


Double click on XJP2_2.8.0.tgz to download it and extract it.


Please select XJP2_2.8.0 and click "Expand".


Choose a folder that is not a Japanese name folder. In this case, expand to the home directory (the folder with the same name as the login name). Confirm that "Re-create folder" and "Overwrite existing file" are checked and click "Expand".


Click "Close".


Click "Application" → "Accessories" → "Terminal".


Let's look at the contents of the home directory by typing "ls - la (line feed)". Upper case letters and lower case letters are distinguished, so please be careful not to make a mistake.


After confirming that there is an expanded "XJP2_2.8.0" folder, enter "cd XJP2_2.8.0" and press the Enter key to execute the command and move to the folder.


Then, I will continue typing commands more and more. At the end of the command, press the Enter key to complete the entry.

Initial setting
· Create setting folder
· Creation of configuration file
· Create folders used by XJP 2

I will do the above.

Click "View" → "Show hidden files" in the home directory.


Let's create a folder called ". Xtext".


Copy the file called "xtext.conf.sample" in the "conf" folder inside the "XJP2_2.8.0" folder that was developed and expanded as above.


After copying "xtext.conf.sample", copy it to the ".xtext" folder created earlier. Next, change the file name "xtext.conf.sample" to the file name "xtext.conf".


Since this "xtext.conf" is a setting file, open it with a text editor and modify the necessary part as follows. For the variables of the configuration file,Author's web pageThere is an explanation.

First, from the top of the configuration file. For example, if the login name is netwalker, the top line is "BOOK_DIR: / home / netwalker / book /".

BOOK_DIR: / home / [account name when logging in] / book /
RAST_DB_DIR: / home / [account name when logging in] / xjp - rast /
AOZORA_URL: http://www.aozora.gr.jp/
AOZORA_LIST: / home / [account name when logging in] /book/list_person_all.zip
#AOZORA_URL: http://mirror.aozora.gr.jp/
# AOZORA_LIST: /index_pages/ list_person_all.zip

Next the middle of the configuration file. Specify the window size and color. The color name isColor name of X11Please enter. In this setting, the background color is white and the character color is black.

MAIN_WINDOW_IMAGE: /home/bg.jpg
MAIN_WINDOW_WIDTH: 1024
MAIN_WINDOW_HEIGHT: 528

MENU_FONT_COLOR: black
MAIN_SHADOW_COLOR: yellow
SELECT_WINDOW_COLOR: DodgerBlue 4
SELECT_FONT_COLOR: SkyBlue
SELECT_FONT_BACKGROUND_COLOR: snow
FIND_FONT_COLOR: brown 4

It is the setting around the font at the end. I changed the font to "LC font" and enlarged the font size than the initial setting. LINE_SPACE between lines, ROW_SPACE between characters seems to be able to specify a negative value. Because NetWalker becomes unstable, I am attaching # to MAIN_FONT_E and do not read it.
