Installation

Software prerequisites

In order to run TDK software as a .jar file, you need to install Java 11+ first.

Various Java 11+ builds from a number of vendors are available, some free options include Eclipse Temurin and Liberica JDK, but you can use any Java 11+ build available in your organization.

Check the version of Java on your machine with the following command:

java --version

If Java is installed correctly, this command should run successfully, and the major Java version shown in the output should be 11 or higher.

In order to run a containerized version of TDK, you need Docker.

Download the free CLI version

Set your license key

If you are using a paid version, a valid licence key is required to run the Synthesized software. This can be set up as an environment variable or copied to a permanent hidden folder.

Environment Variable

Before running the software, save the license key to an environment variable called SYNTHESIZED_KEY:

export SYNTHESIZED_KEY="{your license key}"

Hidden Folder

Create a text file in ~/.synthesized/key that contains only the provided license key.

mkdir ~/.synthesized
echo {your license key} > ~/.synthesized/key
