Of course. You just need to install Java.

Linux OpenJDK 11: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...the-simplest-way-to-distribute-ui-apps.99835/

"The app won't run" is too little info.
How are you trying to run it?
Which command are you using to run it?
Is it a Non-ui app?
Any errors on command screen?

will i just installed the openjdk 11 like following

sudo add-apt-repository ppapenjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk
sudo apt install openjfx

then i just right click on the jar file and i choose run with open jdk 11 the app wont run

the app is an empty simple b4j app just generated it to test if it will run on ubuntu

If it is an "empty simple b4J app", what do you expect it to do?
Does it at least have a form to show? Or some on-screen logs to show?
Also, running it from the desktop I don't think it automatically grants administration rights to the execution command.
You should try to run from command line making sure to "sudo" your command

This is expected.

You need to download the package from this link: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...the-simplest-way-to-distribute-ui-apps.99835/

is there installation instruction for Linux package ? i downloaded the linux package but how to install it ?

 

[Erel]

You don't need to install it. Just unpack it. You can then run your app with <path to java>/java -jar <your jar>

You can also run B4JPackager11 on your linux to create a package with an embedded Java runtime.
