Before installing Administration Console

Before installing the Administration Console, you must ensure these tasks are completed:

  • Windows/Linux/UNIX: Install a supported version of Java before running the installer. The installer will not complete until you specify a supported version of Java.
  • Windows/Linux/UNIX: Update your PATH variable to point to the java.exe executable in the Java installation bin directory. For example, on Linux you can set the PATH variable by issuing a command like this:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.8/bin

    For Windows you can update the PATH environment variable to point to the java.exe executable in the Java installation bin directory.

    For more information on how to set your PATH variable, consult your operating system documentation.

  • Linux/UNIX: Export your display to your local machine if you are installing on Linux/UNIX. Sample command:

    export DISPLAY=MYMACHINENAME.infor.com:0.0

  • Linux/UNIX: Install and configure an X Window server program such as Xming on your local machine.
