Solaris Installation Instructions
The installation and configuration process can be broken down
into the following steps:
-
Check Solaris patches
-
Do pre-installation checks
-
Unpack the downloaded file
-
Delete the original file you downloaded (optional)
If you experience trouble along the way, check the Troubleshooting
the Installation section at the end of this document.
Please note, for any command lines on this page containing the following
notation, you must substitute the appropriate update version number for the
notation.
<version number>
For example, if you are downloading update 1.2.2_008, the following
chmod command:
% chmod a+x jre-1_2_2_<version number>-solaris-sparc.sh
would become:
% chmod a+x jre-1_2_2_008-solaris-sparc.sh
1.
Check Solaris patches
-
Prior to installing the Java 2 SDK, 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. You will find a patch cluster
for each Solaris operating environment platform. Each patch cluster
applies to all supported versions of the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)
on the given platform.
2.
Do pre-installation checks
-
Check the size of your downloaded file.
Before you download a file, notice that its byte size is provided
on the download page. Once the download has completed, check that you
have downloaded the full, uncorrupted software file.
3.
Unpack the downloaded software file
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_<version number>-solaris-sparc.sh
% ./jre-1_2_2_<version number>-solaris-sparc.sh
-
For Intel (x86):
% chmod a+x jre-1_2_2_<version number>-solaris-i586.sh
% ./jre-1_2_2_<version number>-solaris-i586.sh
This will create a directory called jre-1.2.2 containing the Java 2
Runtime Environment in bin and lib subdirectories.
4.
Delete the original file you downloaded
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.
To submit comments or suggestions about the Java 2 SDK, please send mail
to the most appropriate engineering team from the list at
Java Software email addresses.
