Installing The Jre; Installing The Directory Server Packages - Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.0 Installation Manual

Chapter 3. Setting up Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
This chapter describes the complete procedure to install Red Hat Directory Server on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, including both the JRE and Directory Server packages, and the different setup
options.

3.1. Installing the JRE

Necessary Java JRE libraries are not bundled with Directory Server. They must be downloaded and
extracted separately before installing the Directory Server packages.
NOTE
Directory Server 8.0 requires JRE version 1.5.0.
Any Red Hat Enterprise Linux customer can download the required JRE packages from the RHEL
Extras or Supplemental channel in Red Hat Network, and then use native Red Hat tools to install the
package. For example, to install the JRE on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, use the up2date command:
up2date java-1.5.0-ibm
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, use the yum command:
yum install java-1.5.0-ibm
Using yum or up2date is the preferred and recommended way to install Java. However, it is also
possible to download the JRE from the Java site.
1. Download the Java libraries from http://www.java.com.
2. Log in as root, and install the JRE. For example:
rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.5-1jpp.2.el4.i386.rpm
After installing the JRE, install the Directory Server packages, as described in
the Directory Server Packages".

3.2. Installing the Directory Server Packages

1. Install the Directory Server packages. There are two options for installing the packages: using
native Red Hat Enterprise Linux tools (yum or up2date) or downloading them from Red Hat
Network. The recommended way is to use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux tools. On Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4, use up2date:
up2date redhat-ds
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, use yum:
yum install redhat-ds
