Installation

.

Note

We strongly recommend that you use the latest version of Java.

For versions before Java 1.8.0_151, you must install the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files.

Step 1 Download and Install Java

On Windows

  1. From the Adoptium home page https://adoptium.net, select Termurin 8 or 11.
    This download is equivalent to the Adopt Open JDK HotSpot build of Java for 64 bit architectures.
  2. Click the Latest release button to download an MSI installation package.
  3. Complete the installation process as standard for an MSI directed by the package, accepting all defaults.

On Linux

  1. Download Java from the Adoptium download page:
  2. Follow the installation instructions on the download page

?? Alternatively, download the binaries for Adoptium Temurin 8 or 11 from GitHub as follows

Code Block
cd /tmp

...


wget https://github.com/adoptium/temurin8-binaries/releases/download/jdk8u312-b07/OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_linux_hotspot_8u312b07.tar.gz

...


https://adoptopenjdk.jfrog.io/adoptopenjdk/api/gpg/key/public

Clean up


cd Remove the temporary files from /tmp:

Code Block
rm adoptopenjdk-keyring.gpg* public

...

Step 2 Configure Security

Update the security settings to allow strong encryption and decryption of files

...

.

1. Go to the JRE directory /lib/security/java.security file.

Notetip

If you have installed a JDK rather than a JRE, you will find this directory underunder JAVA_BASE_INSTALLATION/jre

E.g.

C, for example:
   C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.312.7-hotspot\jre

The crypto.policy line is commented out.

...

languagetext

...

2. Set the crypto.policy

...

to unlimited for the JRE used by PhixFlow, by deleting the #" to uncomment the line:

...

    - from: # crypto.policy=unlimited
    - to:    crypto.policy=unlimited

...

Step 3 Optionally Set the Environment Variable

Some installation processes set the environment variable JAVA_

...

HOME for you automatically. If

...

not, you do not need to set

...

it. However, if you want to set it, specify the base installation directory of Java,

...

for example:

  • On  Windows:  C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.312.7-hotspot
  • On Linux:  /usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-11-hotspot-amd64

...

We strongly recommend that you use the latest version of Java.
