Not able to install sikulix 1.1.4 version in my Ubuntu16.04.5 machine in Azure

[Punitha]

I am using Ubuntu version 16.04.5 in Microsoft Azure environment. Please find the below details:
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

Mine is a 64-bit system

Java version:
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# /home/SikuliX/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -version
openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13, mixed mode)

I have created SikuliX folder in /home/
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# pwd
/home/SikuliX

Initially I have placed the files required to install sikuli 1.1.4 version. Please see the details below:
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# ls
jdk-11.0.1
jython-standalone-2.7.1.jar
openjdk-11.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
sikulixapi.jar
sikulix.jar

I have followed the below commands to install the sikulix.jar:
/home/SikuliX/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -jar sikulix.jar -v

Here in this installation I have received the error "X11 DISPLAY variable was set".

Please find the installation log and the error:
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# /home/SikuliX/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -jar sikulix.jar -v

To resolve the X11 DISPLAY variable requirement I have given the command "export DISPLAY=:1" prior to "/home/SikuliX/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -jar sikulix.jar -v" as below:
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# export DISPLAY=:1
root@scb-test-7:/home/SikuliX# /home/SikuliX/jdk-11.0.1/bin/java -jar sikulix.jar -v

Now, am facing a _thread import error. Please find the below log statements and _thread import error.

This workflow worked in my case. I think the reason was a clash with the previous installations of Sikuli (I had used 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 versions before).

1. Delete the folder: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Sikulix
2. Run the script again.
3. For some reason, I had an error at first try (can be specific to my case)
4. On second try, the script worked properly.
