The Presentation Client can be configured to start as a standalone client in the same way as any other installed application, depending on the operating system on which it is installed. For example, on a Windows operating system the Presentation Client can be accessed from the Windows Start menu.

A general method of starting the Presentation Client, which applies to all operating systems that support the Presentation Client, is to use the command line.

The classpath environment variable must first be set to the location of the source files, LINCViewer.jar, and the local directories where the forms are downloaded.

Run the Java interpreter from the command line using the following syntax:

java com.unisys.jellybeans.views.LINCViewer <command line options> 

The following example starts the Presentation Client as an application accessing the system sample, as defined in the configuration file setup.xml.

java com.unisys.jellybeans.views.LINCViewer -uconfig=setup.xml -system=sample
