Nirvana Installation

Pre-Installation

As mentioned in the installation overview section, when choosing the download package you have to option to download one with a JRE or one without a JRE. If you have chosen a Win32, Linux or Solaris installer that does not include a JRE or the Generic Unix installer you need to ensure that a compatible Java JDK or JRE installation exists prior to running the installer. Any JRE or JDK 1.2 or later can be used although the recommended version is 1.4.2_06 .

The installer assumes that JRE or JDK is configured correctly and can be executed by opening a console/shell and typing the following command:

[marvin@my-Channels.com]$ Java –version
Java version “1.4.2_06”
Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06)
Java HotSpot (TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06, mixed mode)
