You can install Jalview in a number of ways other than the main desktop installer. You may find one of the methods below suits your needs better, although some peripheral functionality or integration with your operating system may be lost. See the notes for details.

Thanks to ej-technologies for granting a free install4j license to the Jalview Open Source Project. Jalview's desktop installers were built with the install4j multi-platform installer builder and Gradle.
