For system requirements, see Solaris
system requirements.
Installing the 64-bit JDK for the Solaris operating system on SPARC,
x64, and EM64T platforms is a two-step process. These steps can be performed
in either order, but you must install the following bundles together:
Install solaris-i586 (32-bit) with
solaris-x64 (64-bit)
Install solaris-sparc (32-bit) with solaris-sparcv9 (64-bit)
- Install the 32-bit JDK using the
32-bit JDK Installation Notes .
- Install the supplemental files for 64-bit support using the following
64-bit installation instructions.
Use the following instructions to install the 64-bit supplement for the
Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE). The download file is a self-extracting binary
file.
Note: For any text on this page containing the following notation,
you must substitute the appropriate JRE update version number (such as
"_01") for the notation.
<update>
For example, if you are installing update 1.6.0_01, the following command:
chmod +x jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
would become:
chmod +x jre-1_6_0_01-solaris-sparcv9.sh
Note: The jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-x64.sh
installer provides support for all processors that support the AMD 64-bit
extensions to the Intel x86 architecture, including EM64T.
1. Download
the self-extracting binary and check the file size to ensure
that you have downloaded the full, uncorrupted software bundle.
You can download to any directory you choose; it does not have
to be the directory where you want to install the JRE.
Before you download the file, notice its byte size provided on the
download page on the web site. Once the download has completed, compare
that file size to the size of the downloaded file to make sure they
are equal.
2. Make
sure that execute permissions are set on the self-extracting
binary:
On SPARC processors:
chmod +x jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
On x64/EM64T processors:
chmod +x jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-x64.sh
3. Change
directory to the same directory from where you ran the self-extracting
binary for the 32-bit install.
This is the directory that contains the jre1.6.0<update>
directory of the 32-bit JRE. The next step installs the JRE into the current
directory.
4. Run the
self-extracting binary.
Execute the downloaded file, prepending the path to it. For
example, if the downloaded file is in the current directory, prepend it
with "./" (necessary if "." is not in the PATH environment
variable):
On SPARC processors:
./jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
On x64/EM64T processors:
./jre-1_6_0<update>-solaris-x64.sh
The binary code license is displayed, and you are prompted to agree
to its terms.
Files for support of 64-bit operation are installed at several locations
within the same jre1.6.0<update> directory where
the 32-bit JRE was installed.
