(SOLVED) why Cytoscape does not launch?

Question

[zizigolu]

Hey guys,

I installed Cytoscape 3.2.1 and I can see its folder in program file in start menu but when I click on its icon, no happening I see. In manual I read by double-clicking on cytoscape.bat (in windows OS) application will be launch but when I did so no happening again, I think my java is 8 and by typing java -Xmx512M -jar cytoscape.jar -p plugins in cmd it says that unable to access jarfile cytoscape.jar

Why this is like this please?

If the batch file contains that command, try running the command with the exact location of the jar file. If that works, update the jar file with that change.

E.g.:

java -Xmx512M -jar "C:\Users\sarah\Downloads\cytoscape\cytoscape.jar" -p plugins

Sorry Ram, really I don't know how to accept. I can see just an upvoting icon, ADD REPLY and a link below the answer. I'm shy to ask but where is the accept icon?
