I would suggest that libjline-java be promoted from 'recommended' to 'necessary', at least for Linux installs. I have yet to use Linux software with a CLI that does not support command history. Just a suggestion.
So I have libjline-java installed on my system, and added this line to the basexclient script:
find_jars /usr/share/doc/libjline-java 2>/dev/null
but command history still does not work. Do I need to do something else? Thank you.

I installed using apt-get on Ubuntu. I didn't realize that wouldn't get me the full version.
Thanks.

Hi Alan,
the command-line history is available in the full distribution of BaseX (zip, exe), which includes the Java readline library (JLine).
Hope this helps, Christian

Hello,
Does the basex command line client keep no command history? I am using
the
Linux version. In most Linux command line programs, the up- and
down-arrows
allow you to scroll through past commands so you don't have to retype
them
every time. I see "Save command-line history" in the change log for
version
8.0.1 ( and I have version 8.2.3 installed) but command history does not appear to work.
Thanks, Alan
