I'm trying to install and run datawarrior from an Ubuntu instance in Amazon EC2. I installed java (made sure lastest version is installed), the xdg tools package, and unzipped the tarball. We installed according to the readme but when trying to run datawarrior, the following exceptions are found:
:~/john/datawarrior_linux/datawarrior$ ./datawarrior

Any thoughts on what might be wrong? Many thanks!

Hi John,

a Headless Exception is raised, if the headless version (that is the one without user interface classes)
of the Java Runtime environment is installed instead of the regular JRE. The headless JRE is meant for
servers without Desktop user interface, that need to run some Java based services.

I am not exactly sure, but I assume that you can run DataWarrior on such a server nevertheless, if you
log into the server from another computer with e.g. "ssh -X john@server.org" the -X option tells the
server to use the client computer for all userinterface activities as opening windows, tracking mouse
movements etc.

Kind regards,

Thomas
