Install Java. We recommend the OpenJDK Adoptium Temurin 8 or 11. This is the build of Open JDK that we test with across linux and 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 installation package.
  3. Complete the installation process as directed by the package, accepting all defaults.

Optionally Set the Environment Variable

You can set a system envrionment variable JAVA_HOME if you wish. This can be useful if you have other applications that use Java. However, for the operation of PhixFlow itself, this is not needed, and most operators choose not to add this. Even if you do not set JAVA_HOME, Java programs that need to operate PhixFlow will be added to your path. I.e. you can call them from the command line by using the program name alone.

If you decide to set JAVA_HOME as a system envrionment variable, specify the base installation directory of Java, for example:

  • C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-8.0.312.7-hotspot

Configure Security

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

2. Set the crypto.policy to unlimited for the JRE used by PhixFlow, by deleting the # " to uncomment the line:
    - from: # crypto #crypto.policy=unlimited
    - to:       crypto.policy=unlimited
