How to Run Examples Leave feedback

Prerequisites

Before running examples, make sure your environment meets the System Requirements and Installation guides:

Windows PowerShell:

$env:JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17"
$env:Path="$env:JAVA_HOME\bin;$env:Path"

Linux/macOS:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

To get started, make sure that Node.js and Java are installed and configured as described above.

Clone the repository with examples

git clone git@github.com:groupdocs-viewer/GroupDocs.Viewer-for-Node.js-via-Java.git

Navigate to the Examples folder

cd ./GroupDocs.Viewer-for-Node.js-via-Java/Examples

Install dependencies
```
npm install
```
This installs the bundled groupdocs.viewer-<version>.tgz package and other dependencies defined in package.json. We typically keep the package up to date with the latest version. If you need to use a different package version, you can update the package.json file accordingly.
Alternatively, you can download the tgz file from the official GroupDocs Releases website. To install the package manually, copy the tgz file to the Examples directory and run the following command:
```
npm install ./groupdocs.viewer-*.tgz
```
If installation fails with native build errors, review the build tools section in System Requirements.
Configure license (optional)
If you have a license file, you can set the license path in the run_all_examples.js file. By default, GroupDocs.Viewer for Node.js via Java checks for the GROUPDOCS_LICENSE_PATH environment variable or looks for files with the .lic extension in the project’s root directory. You can also get a temporary license to test all the features.
Run all examples
```
npm start
```
You can also run individual examples by navigating to the folder containing the example script and running it. Output files are placed in the same folder as the script file.

We also offer GroupDocs.Viewer packages for other platforms:
