Multivalent

[Nigel Ridley]

I'm trying to run multivalent from the command line but get this error:
nigel at laptop:~/Downloads/Multivalent$ java tool.pdf.Compress -noalt Sept-08-print-EN.pdf
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: tool/pdf/Compress
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tool.pdf.Compress

         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:336)
Could not find the main class: tool.pdf.Compress. Program will exit.

I tried the following (according the the Multivalent website):
Tools all live in the file Multivalent.jar, and that file is made visible to Java by adding its 
path to your CLASSPATH environment variable. For example, for UNIX (including Mac OS X and 
Linux), depending on your shell, setenv CLASSPATH $CLASSPATH:/path/to/Multivalent.jar or export 
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/Multivalent.jar.

But I get error messages trying to run the above:
nigel at laptop:~$ sudo setenv CLASSPATH $CLASSPATH:/home/nigel/Downloads/Multivalent/Multivalent.jar
sudo: setenv: command not found
nigel at laptop:~$ sudo export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/nigel/Downloads/Multivalent/Multivalent.jar
sudo: export: command not found

They also suggest:
Alternatively, you can set the classpath explicitly as an option, as in
     java -classpath /path/to/Multivalent.jar tool.XXX [options] files
but I don't understand the '[options] files' part.

How can I set the classpath so as to get multivalent to run?
Yes I have enabled the 'executable' option under 'Permissions' on the actual Multivalent.jar file.

Blessings,

Nigel
