Download and install the Sun Java JDK for Compiere installation, available at http://java.sun.com/. If you have installed any other JDKs, please uninstall them before installing Compiere. You can check this by typing:

 

$ rpm -qa | grep java

 

For JDK, installation starts with the following command:

 

$ ./jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

 

Edit the profile and then add path settings into it:

 

$ gedit /etc/profile

 

Add the following lines:

--------------------------------------

PATH=/opt/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/:/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/:$PATH

CLASSPATH=.:$CLASSPATH

 

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_06/:$JAVA_HOME
