Checking Installation Requirements

Before you run the installer, make sure the system on which you are installing meets the following requirements:

• The system must meet the Java ES hardware, operating system, and patch requirements, which are listed in the Java Enterprise System Release Notes at http://download.oracle.com/817-5503. Patches are available at http://sunsolve.sun.com. The Java ES installer checks the system for these requirements, but you might find it easier to check the system before you begin.

• You must run the installer as root. Ensure that you have root access to the system on which you are installing Java ES.

• The installation procedures are for a system that is running a the Solaris^TM 9 Operating System. If you install on the Solaris 8 Operating System, some path names will vary slightly from those shown in the instructions.
