Installing the BEA JRockit JRE

The BEA JRockit JVM is a component of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) included in the BEA JRockit JDK. In instances where you want to exploit the full power of the JVM without dealing with the overhead of the entire JDK, you can install just the JRE as described in this document and run it separately.

This section includes information on the following subjects:

 

Installing the JRE From an .exe or .bin File

In the following procedure you will run the self-installing executable (Windows) or the self-extracting binary (Linux and Solaris).

To Install BEA JRockit JRE
  1. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate version of the BEA JRockit JRE for your operating system.
  2. On you local drive, locate the executable file for the version of BEA JRockit JDK you want to install:
    3. Note: If you install the JDK on Linux or Solaris by using the .bin file, you need to ensure the file is executable. You can use chmod +x <filename> to make the file executable.
  3. Run the JRE installer.
    The install process begins and the BEA installer window appears, followed by the Welcome window.
  4. Click Next.

    5. The BEA License Agreement window appears.

  5. Select Yes and click Next.
    The Choose Product Directory window appears (see Figure 2-1).
    6. Figure 2-1 Choose Product Directory Window

  6. Click Next if you are satisfied with the suggested installation directory.

    7. If you want a different location for the installation you can pick one by clicking Browse or type a new directory into the Product Installation Directory field.

    By clicking Reset, you set the selection back to the default directory.

  7. Click Next (the installation starts immediately after you click Next).
    The BEA Installer window appears and the installation process continues, as indicated on the progress meter in the lower right corner of the window (see Figure 2-2).

    When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete window appears.

  8. Click Done.

    9. The BEA JRockit JRE is now installed.

 

Uninstalling the JRE

To uninstall the JRE, see Uninstalling the JDK for instructions on how to perform the uninstallation. Replace JDK specifics with JRE.

 

Console and Silent Mode Installation and Uninstallation

Like the BEA JRockit JDK, the BEA JRockit JRE can be installed and uninstalled in both console mode and silent mode. See Installing and Uninstalling BEA JRockit JDK in Console Mode and Installing and Uninstalling BEA JRockit JDK in Silent Mode. The procedure for these functions is identical to that used to install and uninstall the JDK, except that you need to execute different installation files.
