Requirements

This tool is written in Java.

Fim is compiled using Java 17 and requires Java 17 or later to run. You can download it from Adoptium, or use the JDK your package manager provides.
If you would rather not install Java, the Docker image carries everything Fim needs.

Run Fim under a UTF-8 locale, for example LANG=C.UTF-8. Fim holds file names as text, so a name carrying characters the JVM's encoding cannot represent comes back altered and no longer refers to the file it came from.

Supported OS

Fim can be used on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows

Build

Fim is built with Gradle, through the wrapper committed in the repository. You need a JDK 17 or later:

$ ./gradlew build

./gradlew check compiles, runs the tests, checks the style with Checkstyle, analyses the code with SpotBugs and holds coverage to a floor. The same checks run on Linux, Windows and macOS for every push and pull request. See Verifying Fim for how to run them yourself, and how to enable the hook that runs them before every push.

Docker image

Docker Hub

The image builds Fim itself, so it needs neither a JDK nor a prior build on the host:

$ ./build-docker-image
