If you start the setup on Unix directly with
> java -jar ./jobscheduler_linux-xxx.jar
then the setup will open "xterm" to enter a root password.
Please call instead
> ./setup.sh
This script calls sudo to enter the root password.
Under Unix, the root privileges are not required. If you want to install the JobScheduler without root privileges, then call
> ./setup.sh -u
