Java 2 Runtime Environment Version 1.2.2_007 Installation Notes

Solaris Installation Instructions

Prior to installing the Java 2 Runtime Environment, you should insure that you have installed the full set of required patches needed for support of this release. To obtain patches, see the SunSolve support website.

The installation and configuration process can be broken down into the following steps:

1. Do pre-installation checks
2. Unpack the downloaded file
3. Delete the original file you downloaded (optional)

1. Do pre-installation checks

• Check the size of your downloaded file.

Before proceeding further, check that you have downloaded the entire file:

	jre-1_2_2_007-solsparc.sh		10,298,314 bytes
	jre-1_2_2_007-solx86.sh		9,697,623 bytes

If you unpack the software or documentation in a directory that contains a directory named jre1.2.2, the new software will overwrite files of the same name in that jre1.2.2 directory. Please be careful to rename the old directory if it contains files you would like to keep.

In a shell window, execute the commands listed below.

• For SPARC:

  % chmod a+x jre-1_2_2_007-solsparc.sh
  % ./jre-1_2_2_007-solsparc.sh

• For Intel (x86):

  % chmod a+x jre-1_2_2_007-solx86.sh
  % ./jre-1_2_2_007-solx86.sh

This will create a directory called jre-1.2.2 containing the Java 2 Runtime Environment in bin and lib subdirectories.

If you want to recover disk space, delete the file you downloaded.

Troubleshooting the Installation

Error Message: The download file appears to be corrupted
The Java 2 Runtime Environment's installation script does a checksum to insure that the software bundle was not corrupted during the download. If the checksum indicates that your file is corrupted, delete the file and download a new copy.
