Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

This section describes how to install JRockit Real Time using console mode, rather than from a GUI.

Installing JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

To install JRockit Real Time in console mode, do the following:

  1. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate version of JRockit Real Time for your operating system (see Table 1).
  2. On your local drive, locate the executable file for the version of JRockit Real Time you want to install:
  3. Note: If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable.
  4. Open a command window or console on your computer.
  5. Change to the directory from which you want to install JRockit Real Time.
  6. At the command line, enter:
  7. 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.

    The system responds:

    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.

Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

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.

 


Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

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.

The silent.xml File

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.

Listing 1 Example of a silent.xml File
<?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>

Installing JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

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):

  1. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate version of JRockit Real Time for your operating system (see Table 1).
  2. On your local drive, locate the executable file for the version of JRockit Real Time you want to install:
  3. Note: If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable.
  4. Open a command window or console on your computer.
  5. Change to the directory from which you want to install JRockit Real Time.
  6. At the command line, enter:
  7. 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.

Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

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.

 


Special Note About Installing on Linux or Solaris

If you are installing JRockit Real Time on either a Linux or Solaris machine, note the following information.

Ensure the Installer is Executable

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.

Acquire Root Access for System Wide Installation

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.

Identify the Default Location of System Preferences

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.
