Is that really the output of “java -version”?
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.551.v20171108-1834: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
No, sorry, got mixed up on message replies!
-bash: java: command not found
Installed an IDE to get java, now got:
openjdk version “1.8.0_181”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-2~deb9u1-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
Installing Java was unneeded as KNIME ships with Java included.
I would feel better if the entirety of the output from the terminal that you pasted included the command prompts, e.g:
bash$ ./knime
a bunch of
stuff
plugins complaint
stuff
bash$

I somehow assumed that the Linux version of Knime uses the system JRE, but it seems I was wrong.
I get a pop up saying: The knime executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library and then from the command line I get:
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.551.v20171108-1834: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi, it’s a long time since I tried this, but just to let anyone know who is trying this, I was extracting it via the files app on the chromebook, and that was the problem. This time, I loaded the download into the linux file section and then extracted it via the command line using:
tar xvzf knime_4.0.2.linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz
Thanks.
Still some errors but it loaded when I tried./knime. SO I can now start learning knime!
Thanks!
