Installing the Java Native Rendering Library

Step 1: Verify System Requirements

Make sure your system satisfies the requirements listed in the Overview. In particular, if you are running macOS 10.10 (Yosemite), make sure you have updated the Java Runtime Support framework.

Step 2: Download

Download the JAR file here.

Step 3: Install

Copy the JAR file to an appropriate location and add it to your classpath.

Versions of the Java Native Rendering library prior to release 14 use an Apple-developed framework called JavaNativeFoundation. To use JNR natively on Apple Silicon computers, a version of JavaNativeFoundation that includes arm64 code must be installed and made available. See this note for details.
