Run ImageJ plugins from the command line in Ubuntu

by Oleg Dzhimiev

1. Get X Virtual FrameBuffer
sudo apt-get install xvfb

2. Launch ImageJ (“cd” to the ij.jar directory):
Xvfb :15 &
DISPLAY=:15 java -Xmx12288m -jar ij.jar -run "TestIJ Plugin"

Comments:

  • TestIJ Plugin is the name of the compiled plugin in the ImageJ menu. No need to specify a subfolder.
  • :15 is an example.
