Chapter 8. Preparing for Development Installation

8.1. Installing the Prerequisite Software

8.1.1. JDK Installation for Development

Follow the instructions as specified in Section 5.1.1 JDK Installation for Production.

8.1.2. Installing Database Server for Development

Follow the instructions as specified in Section 5.1.2 Installing Oracle Database for Production for Oracle, or in Section 5.1.3 Installing PostgreSQL for Production for PostgreSQL.

8.1.3. Installing Servlet Container for Development

Follow the instructions as specified in Section 5.1.4 Installing Servlet Container for Production.

8.1.4. Installing Other Third-party Applications for Production

Perl must be installed in order to generate the servlet container configuration file. Although this is probably already included in the base OS install for Linux, on Windows servers, you will probably need to install it, as described in Section 3.5 Other Third-party Packages.

The development environment also requires some additional packages. For RPM-based systems, these are installed as follows:

rpm -ivh ant-1.5.4-2jpp.noarch.rpm

For details on obtaining these RPMs or for installation information on obtaining ZIP distributions of these packages, see Section 3.5 Other Third-party Packages.
