JPOS Installation Steps

1 Install Java

    Java must be installed on your system before you can run the installer. This can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

    Users : Install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (32-bit only).

    Developers : Install the Java Development Environment (JDK) (32-bit only).   

2 Configure your environment(Windows)

    Configuring the environment on Windows is only necessary for application developers.

    Some environment variables need to be set on Window for application development. Note that the exact procedure for setting these variables depends on the version of windows that is being used.

    1. Select the "Control Panel" from the "Start" menu.

    2. Select "Performance and Maintenance".

    3. Select "System".

    7. Select "Path" and press the "Edit" button. The "Edit System Variable" dialog is displayed.

    8. Add the following path to the "Variable value:" field:

        <Your jdk or jre install folder>/bin

        (s.g. "c:\jdk1.7.0_75\bin" or "c:\jre1.7.0_75\bin")

    9. Press the "OK" button to close the "Edit System Variable" dialog.

    10. Press the "OK" button to close the "Environment Variables" dialog.

    11. Press the "OK" button to close the "System Properties" dialog.

         java -version

3 Configure your environment(Linux)

    1. Type the following at the command prompt to change to you home directory:
                cd $HOME

    2. Append the following lines to your “.bash_profile” file if you installed the JRE:
            JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.7.0_75
            PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/:$PATH
            export JAVA_HOME PATH

        Append the following lines to your “.bash_profile” file if you installed the JDK:
            export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_75
            export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
            export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/dt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

    3. Save the file.

    4. These settings will take effect next time you login.

    5. Logout and login again. Type the following command to confirm the java version:
            java –version

6 Silent Installation/Uninstallation

  Silent Installation Process:
  Silent installation involves the following steps.
    1. Preparing Information and Creating an Installation Script
    2. Running Installation

  Step 1:Preparing Information and Creating an Installation Script:

  Using the command prompt, append "-r silent.properties" to the installer file and run it.

  Example: Setup.exe -r D:\silent.properties (for Windows)
  Example: ./Setup.bin -r /usr/silent.properties (for Linux)

  Collect information is required to perform a silent installation. Use the following procedure to collect the information.
  Refer to the "4 Installation(Windows)" or "5 Installation(Linux)" chapter to complete the whole installation process.

  Modify the "silent.properties" file, add a line of content to the start of the file:
  INSTALLER_UI=silent

  To ensure the quiet installation of Step 2 is correct, please uninstall the JavaPOS software.

  Step 2:Running Installation and Uninstallation:

  To install:   Using the command prompt, append "-f silent.properties" to the installer file and run it.

  Example: Setup.exe -f D:\silent.properties (for Windows)
  Example: ./Setup.bin -f /usr/silent.properties (for Linux)

  To uninstall:   Uninstallation runs silently if the installation was silent.

  Example: Change SNBCJavaPOS Installation.exe (for Windows)
  Example: ./Change SNBCJavaPOS Installation (for Linux)

  Note: Before the next installation, please uninstall the JavaPOS software.The System where the Silent installation needs to be performed has to be identical in terms of the software’s installed with the system where Installation process was recorded and “Silent.Properties” is generated for Silent installation to work.
