Thanks for the additional info. Normally when seeking help it is important to note the Linux distro, what you have done and where the program was downloaded, etc.
I just downloaded and installed it on my system and can now answer at least a few of your questions.
When you ran the installer it asked where to install. The default is the user's home directory in a directory named McIDAS-V-System. That is where I installed mine. If you installed it as root to another location, then you will need to find that location in order to run it.
This is a java application so you probably want to install it as your normal user, not as root, and into your user home directory where it will create a suitable directory tree.
So first question is, did you install it as root user (or using sudo), or as your normal user?
As the user by which you installed it, what does this say:
UPDATE ***
I must shut down shortly, so before leaving I will add the following notes...
As said, it is a java application and seems smart enough to find the jar paths when run from the start script
../McIDAS-V-System/runMcV.
If you installed it as normal user using defaults, it would have installed to /home/{user}/McIDAS-V-System/... where {user} is your user name.
If you installed it as root user using defaults, it would have installed to /root/McIDAS-V-System/...
If you installed it as root, I might suggest using the ../McIDAS-V-System/uninstall script to remove it, then reinstall as normal user to your home directory. It does not seem to require root privs to run.
Once installed, you start it by simply running in a terminal:
Code:
./path/to/McIDAS-V-System/runMcV &
You can add it to your menu system using the same path.
Should you prefer to install it for all users, I would put under /opt on my Slackware machines, but it does appear well behaved (admittedly brief experience!) and does not pollute your system - so ask a Mint user about the preferred install path for non-packaged applications.
It does work, I am watching the clouds over my head as I type!
