This package, together with OpenJDK 25 or later, provides everything you need to develop a JavaFX application on Linux, including all of the latest modular JAR files, native libraries, JMOD archives, API documentation, and source code of JavaFX. Installing this package does not replace the JavaFX provided by your Linux distribution but instead allows you to use both of them side by side. To get started, see the README file for this package on GitHub: Java and OpenJDK are trademarks or registered trademarks of Oracle and/or its affiliates. ### Package name * openjfx --- ### License * GPL-2.0-with-classpath-exception --- ### Last updated * 23 October 2026 - latest/stable * 23 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [openjfx.io](https://openjfx.io "https://openjfx.io") --- ### Contact * [github.com/jgneff/openjfx/discussions](https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx/discussions "https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx/discussions") --- ### Donations * [github.com/sponsors/jgneff](https://github.com/sponsors/jgneff "https://github.com/sponsors/jgneff") --- ### Source code * [github.com/jgneff/openjfx](https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx "https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/jgneff/openjfx/issues](https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx/issues "https://github.com/jgneff/openjfx/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/openjfx/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install OpenJFX Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install OpenJFX To install OpenJFX, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install openjfx ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
