In order to start GeoGebra from the command line you have to first install GeoGebra Classic 5 using the offline installers

If you want to download your own Java rather than the included version then this is the one that we recommend: https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu-community/ (download the 64bit Java 11 JRE)

Usage

When using *.jar files directly (to ensure enough memory is allocated: don't double-click)

.\jre\bin\java -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 -jar geogebra.jar [OPTIONS] [FILES]

or you can try this to disable hardware graphics acceleration if you get glitches

.\jre\bin\java -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -jar geogebra.jar [OPTIONS] [FILES]


For example to show Help:

.\jre\bin\java -jar geogebra.jar --help

To load a file:

.\jre\bin\java -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 -jar geogebra.jar myfile.ggb

To start GeoGebra in a different language:

.\jre\bin\java -Xms32m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8 -jar geogebra.jar --language=de_AT
