Install SlimerJS on your computer

SlimerJS runs on any platform on which Firefox or XulRunner is available. XulRunner is the core of Firefox without its user interface.

This download page offers you different SlimerJS packages. Three flavors:

  • Install the linux package from the package system of your linux distribution. It will install automatically all needed packages (like XulRunner or Firefox). It seems that only Arch Linux provides a package of SlimerJS for the moment. Feel free to contribute for your favorite distro!
  • Or download the Standalone Edition of SlimerJS: this is a zip/gz package containing SlimerJS and XulRunner. There is a package for each operating system.
  • Or download the Lightweight Edition of SlimerJS: this is a zip package containing only SlimerJS and for all operating system. You have to install Firefox or XulRunner separately and probably you'll need to set an environment variable. This is the prefered way to save network band width or to use different versions of Gecko.

SlimerJS is released under the Mozilla Public Licence 2.0 which is compatible with the Gnu Public Licence. This is a free software.

Arch Linux proposes SlimerJS. Just type in a console:

yaourt slimerjs

It will install all needed packages. You can then read the documentation to launch it.

For others distributions, your contribution is welcomed ;-). See the next section to install SlimerJS.

Download the zip or the gz package, extract files into a directory, SlimerJS is ready.

The following packages embed all needed binaries (including XulRunner powered by Gecko 22.0). See the documentation to launch it.
