This document describes procedures for installing the Borland Enterprise Server on Linux.
Important: For the latest platform information and system requirements for installing on Linux, go to http://www.borland.com/techpubs/bes/platforms.
Important: You need the KornShell installed on Linux in order to run Borland Enterprise Server on Linux.
Important: It is highly recommended you use the (default) JDK included with the installer.
You must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed to use the Borland Enterprise Server. The Borland Enterprise Server has been certified to work with JDK version 1.3.1. (You need the full JDK installed, not just the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
The JDK version 1.3.1 is included with the Borland Enterprise Server installer. The installer autodetects for JDKs installed on your machine, but only provides the first instance encountered (which may not be the version included with the installer) as a default path. Though we highly recommend you use the (default) JDK included with the installer, it is not required. For more information see the Borland Enterprise Server Installation Guide on the Borland web site, http://www.borland.com/techpubs/bes.
The total amount of disk space required to install the Borland Enterprise Server depends on which components you install. For more information, see "Planning your network" in the Borland Enterprise Server Installation Guide and http://www.borland.com/techpubs/bes/platforms.
Note: Disk space includes JDK installation.
Important: The messaging core service product, SonicMQ, is bundled with the Borland Enterprise Server installation. It installs automatically (requires no user intervention), and does not allow configuration. For more detailed information on the SonicMQ product, refer to the SonicMQ documentation included with the Borland Enterprise Server.
Before installing the Borland Enterprise Server, make sure you have the license keys to run the Borland Enterprise Server edition you have purchased and its related components. If you have not received a license for the Borland Enterprise Server, contact your Borland sales representative.
If you do not provide license information during the installation process, you will be able to complete the installation. However, you are required to enter license information later using the Management Console.
Note: If you are installing a client, you must provide license information during the installation process.
