Installation Instructions for 64-bit Support

 

Installation Notes for 64-bit Support

Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
Version 1.4.1
Solaris Operating Environment

Requirements

Installing a 64-bit Java 2 Runtime Environment (Java RE) is a two-step process.
  1. First, install the 32-bit Java 2 Runtime Environment. Refer to the 32-bit Java Runtime Environment Installation Instructions .
  2. Second, install the supplemental files for 64-bit support using the following installation instructions.

Installation Instructions

Use the following instructions to install the self-extracting binary file containing the 64-bit supplement for the Java 2 Runtime Environment (Java RE).
Note: For any lines on this page containing the following notation, you must substitute the appropriate Java RE update version number for the notation.
       <version number>
For example, if you are downloading update 1.4.1_01, the following command:
      chmod +x j2re-1_4_1_<version number>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
would become:
      chmod +x j2re-1_4_1_01-solaris-sparcv9.sh

1. Check the download file size.

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 of the same size.

2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the self-extracting binary:
chmod +x j2re-1_4_1_<version number>-solaris-sparcv9.sh

3. Move the self-extracting binary file to the location where you installed the 32-bit Java RE.

4. Run the self-extracting binary.

Files for support of 64-bit operation will be installed at several locations within the j2re1.4.1_<version number> directory created previously by installation of the 32-bit Java RE.
