Install from source. See a binary called /path/to/source/processing-java. Run this binary with `--help`. It will show help, starting with\n\n```\nCommand line edition for Processing 1295 (Java Mode)\n```\n(version will differ)\n\n2. Now remove it and instead use the new snap to install. Run `snap info processing`\n\n```\nname:      processing\nsummary:   A friendly software sketchbook\n....\ncommands:\n  - processing\n```\n\nNotice there is no `processing-java`. \n\nrunning `snap run processing --help` launches the GUI an shows an error on the terminal, that --help is not recognized. \n\n###\n\nExpected behaviour:\n```bash\nsnap run processing-java\n```\nTo run the CLI mode. E.g.\n\n```bash\nsnap run processing-java --sketch /path/to/SomeSketch --run\n```\n\nTo compile and run a sketch.\n\nOffering the CLI in a separate snap would be fine as well. \n\n\n### snippet\n\nNot applicable\n\n### Additional context\n\n_No response_\n\n### Would you like to work on the issue?\n\nNo - I am unfamiliar with the build process of Processing, Gradle, Java","author":{"url":"https://github.com/berkes","@type":"Person","name":"berkes"},"datePublished":"2025-04-18T11:17:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/1047/processing4/issues/1047"}
