• Solution Summary:*

Step 1:

@Peter

offline App Inventor

Step 2:

@Peter

The 7z version. Then extract that.

Step 3:

Use the Tutorial as mentioned in the Readme file:

1. For AI Server
   Linux & Mac
   chmod +x startAIServer.sh (ONLY THE FIRST TIME)
   ./startAIServer.sh (and go to url: localhost:8888)

2. For Build Server
   Linux & Mac
   chmod +x startBuildServer.sh (ONLY THE FIRST TIME)
   ./startBuildServer.sh

Step 4:

@Ramiro

java -version

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

java -version

sudo update-alternatives --config java

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Note: I have installed latest Jdk, it doesn't work. So you must install Jdk8 inorder to get the build server work.

Step 5:

Restart the PC and Enjoy using MIT App Inventor (AI2) Offline on linux at (http://localhost:8888)
Make sure to execute the commands on terminal before launching MIT

1. ./startAIServer.sh

2. ./startBuildServer.sh

On my Linux Mint this is not necessary. Those attributes are already set after extracting the 7z file.
