In this example, the product is JRockit Real Time 3.0 for Java SE 6.
This section explains how to install and uninstall a standalone version of JRockit Real Time in GUI mode for the following platforms:
Note: | If you are installing on Linux and Solaris, please refer to Identify the Default Location of System Preferences for information on where to fnd the system preferences. |
In the following procedure you will run the self-installing executable (Windows) or the self-extracting binary (Solaris and Linux). The screen shots are taken from a Windows installation of JRockit Real Time. The executables for this release of JRockit Real Time are listed in Table 1.
Note: | If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
The install process begins and the Oracle installer window appears, followed by the Welcome window.
The Choose Product Installation Directory window appears (see Figure 1-2).
Note: | 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. |
The Oracle Installer window appears and the installation process continues, as indicated on the progress meter in the lower right corner of the window (see Figure 1-3).
When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete window appears.
If you have installed JRockit Real Time you can start Oracle JRockit Mission Control 3.0.3 from the Start menu.
Once you have installed JRockit Real Time, you need to add it to your path.
Use this command for Windows platforms:
Note: | This example assumes that you are using the Windows Command Prompt (DOS) or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory. |
set PATH=%ProgramFiles%\JRockit Real Time\jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>\bin;%PATH%
Use this command for Linux and Solaris platforms:
Note: | This example assumes that you are using the UNIX bash shell or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory. |
export PATH=$HOME/jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>/bin:$PATH
This section describes how to uninstall the Windows, Linux, and Solaris versions of JRockit Real Time.
To uninstall JRockit Real Time, do the following:
JRockit Real Time is removed from your computer.
To uninstall JRockit Real Time from the command line, run the following command from a console window:
%SystemRoot%\Installer\Oracle\jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>-<arch>\uninstall.exe
To uninstall Linux and Solaris versions of JRockit Real Time, do the following:
JRockit Real Time is removed from your computer.
This section describes how to install JRockit Real Time using console mode, rather than from a GUI.
To install JRockit Real Time in console mode, do the following:
Note: | If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=console
where ext is the file name extension, either exe
on Windows and bin
on Linux and Solaris.
Extracting 0%....................................100%
Once the extraction process is complete, the system will prompt you through the installation, replicating the procedures described in Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time.
Note: | If you don’t specify -mode=console at the command line, the installer will revert to GUI mode, as described in Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time. |
To uninstall Windows versions, use one of the methods described in Uninstalling Windows Versions and Uninstalling Windows Versions from the Command Line.
To uninstall Linux and Solaris versions, use the method described in Uninstalling Linux and Solaris Versions from the Command Line.
The silent installation mode lets you set installation configurations only once and then use those configurations to duplicate the installation on many machines. During installation in silent mode, the installation program reads installation options from an XML file that you create prior to beginning the installation (see The silent.xml File). The installation program does not display any configuration options during the installation process. For more information on silent mode, please refer to “What Is Silent-Mode Installation?” in the Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Guide.
For a silent mode installation to be successful, you will need to create the file silent.xml
and store it on your computer. This file contains the values you want included in your setup. Listing 1 shows an example of a silent.xml
file for JRockit Real Time 3.0 for Java SE 6.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<domain-template-descriptor>
<input-fields>
<!--
Installation directory
This option is valid for all platforms and Oracle JRockit Real Time products
-->
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="C:\Program Files\JRockit Real Time\jrrt-3.0.0-1.6.0" />
<!--
</input-fields>
</domain-template-descriptor>
To install JRockit Real Time in silent mode, do the following (this procedure assumes that silent.xml is stored in the same directory as the JRockit Real Time installer):
Note: | If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=silent -silent_xml="silent.xml"
where ext is the file name extension, either exe
on Windows and bin
on Linux and Solaris.
You will receive a message advising that files are being extracted and no other confirmation.
If you want to confirm the installation on Windows, click Start > Programs. If the installation is successful, you will see Oracle JRockit Real Time in your Program menu.
Note: | If you want to create an install log, add the option -log=log.log at the end of the command. |
To uninstall Windows versions, use one of the methods described in Uninstalling Windows Versions and Uninstalling Windows Versions from the Command Line.
To uninstall Linux and Solaris versions, use the method described in Uninstalling Linux and Solaris Versions from the Command Line.
If you are installing JRockit Real Time on either a Linux or Solaris machine, note the following information.
If you install JRockit Real Time 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.
If you choose to install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris into a system-wide location such as /usr/local
, you must first become the root user to gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have root access, simply install JRockit Real Time into a directory where you have permission to write, for example, your home directory.
When installing on Linux and Solaris, the default location for system preferences will be:
<JAVAHOME>/.systemPrefs
where <JAVA_HOME>
=<INSTALLDIR>/jre.
unless the user is root, in which case it will be /etc/.java/.systemPrefs
.
