Yapbam : Yet Another Personal Bank Account Manager

Where could you download Yapbam ?

Here !

How to install Yapbam ?

  1. You need to have a java 6 (or more) runtime installed.
    Under Windows, a simple way to have it is to download and install the package provided by Sun (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads).

    Under Linux, the best way is to use the package management tool.
    For instance, for Ubuntu type the following command in a console window :
    sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre.
    You may also have openJDK already installed with your Linux distribution. Yapbam is, of course, compatible with this Java Virtual Machine.
  2. Extract the content of yapbam.zip file ... to a new created folder where you want on your hard disk, or on an USB key.
  3. Double-click on the yapbam.jar ... it should launch YAPBAM
    Note : It is possible that the OS launches another application ... for instance an archive manager. A right click "launch with Java SE" (the exact wording may depends on your environment), will solve the problem.
    On windows, it may happen that the double-click on a jar file is broken. As windows is ... a strange OS, the simplest way to fix this problem is to use Jarfix, a third party patcher. Another way, is simply to double click on yapbam.bat.

    It's ok, this is ugly !!! In a future release, I will probably try to fix this with a small piece of C code.

How to update Yapbam ?

  1. Quit Yapbam.
  2. Unzip the content of the file yapbam.zip into your Yapbam directory (the one you've created during the installation).
  3. Restart Yapbam.
