To Begin the Installation Process

Steps

1. Log in as root to the machine on which you are installing Java Enterprise System.

   • Download the software from the Java Enterprise System site at http://www.sun.com . Create a directory for the software (download-directory). Download and unpack the software. Unpacking the software will create subdirectories of download-directory.

3. Change directory to the platform-directory for the platform on which you are installing. The platform-directory is either Solaris_sparc or Solaris_X86.

     cd download-directory/platform-directory

   • If you are running the installer from a CD, the platform-directory is a sub directory of your cdrom directory:

     cd cdrom/platform-directory
