Admin notes

JabRef is most easily installed by downloading its jar file, which I placed in /common/debian/9.1/Desktop/jabref/jabref-3.8.2/lib/. I then used a simple script to launch JabRef, which I placed in /common/debian/9.1/Desktop/jabref/jabref-3.8.2/bin/jabref:

#!/bin/bash
bindir=$(dirname $0)
verdir=${bindir%bin}
verdir=$(basename $verdir)
version=${verdir/jabref-/}
java -jar $bindir/../lib/JabRef-$version.jar
