I2P+ Headless (Console Mode) Installation

If you have already run java -jar i2pinstall.exe -console, the installer has completed in text mode and executed the postinstall.sh script. Start the router with:

sh i2prouter start

If no X server is running, the browser launch will fail. Use lynx http://localhost:7657/ to configure the router via a terminal.

Data directories

I2P+ stores configuration data in the user directory ~/.i2p/ on Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\I2P\ on Windows. This directory is created on first run. When run as a Windows service, the config directory is moved to %PROGRAMDATA%\i2p instead (see service.ps1 in docs/WINDOWS.md). Additional files are written to the JVM temporary directory.

To relocate these directories (or configure a portable installation), edit i2prouter (Linux) and wrapper.config.commented (Linux/Windows) and look for comments labelled PORTABLE; the shipped wrapper.config itself is a minimal copy that refers to the commented version. Do this before running I2P+ for the first time.

Running I2P+

Platform	Command
Linux, BSD, Mac	sh i2prouter start
Windows	i2p.exe or i2prouter.bat
Without wrapper	sh runplain.sh

Stopping I2P+
