System Administration Manual

Installation on a Unix or Linux system

JANET is developed & tested only on JDK 1.4.1. It should execute correctly on any  JDK version that is at least as recent as 1.4.*.
  1. Download the jar file janet<version #>.jar to the directory that you want to hold the JANET system.
  2. Extract the files by either using Netbeans jar facilities or executing the following Unix command, while in the directory that holds the jar file:
      3. jar xvf janet<version #>.jar
  3. Unjarring constructs the following structure:
    • doc/
    • lib/
    • policy/
    • Readme.html
  4. Set the environment variable JANET to this path (up to and including the janet directory). For example, if you are performing a Unix installation of Janet in /usr/bin/janet, then in csh:
      5.  
      setenv JANET /usr/bin/janet
