The tool has to be started from the command line with:

java -jar beatmeter-generator.jar editor -i myaudio.wav

If you just double click on the file nothing will happen. If you run it form the command line and it does not work please send me the complete output of the program so I can determine what the problem is.

You have to change to the directory where the jar file is located.
The error message means, Java does not even find the jar file.
You can change directories with "cd".

And some point I may turn this into a desktop application that can just be started by clicking on it, but there are things I want to do first.

Really? Because I moved it into the right folder but that still gives an error.

"[ . [31mscallop.[0m] Error: Flie 'myaudio.wav' not found"

It is kind of annoying to have to type in a command to open a program instead of just clicking on an .exe file.

Do you actually have a file "myaudio.wav" in the same directory?

I know many people are not used to working on the command line. But if you want to use it right now you have to invest the 10 minutes it takes to figure it out. The UI is far from perfect now anyway.
If you're expecting a perfectly polished tool, you will be disappointed. If you expect something that allows you to save a lot of work in comparison to what is needed if you do not own the top shelf professional audio and video editing tools, than this tool is for you.

You need to have a wav file with the sound that you want to add the beats to, sorry, I thought this to be obvious.
It has to be in wav format. And you use -i myaudio.wav to specify the file you want to work on.
It is currently not possible to start the editor without that, and I don't really see why one would want to.

What do you mean by "could not get it to install"?
You download the jar and run it from the command line as descriped. There is nothing ot "install".
If there is an error, Java will print out an error, that I gladly explain or fix, if there is something wrong.

You didn't say that in your original post. You really should add that part in there.
"Copy and paste any .wav file you want to use for your beat sound and rename it "i myaudio.wav" then run the command to open it."
There should be a line in there that says something like that, but there's not.
