=== INSTALL Sun's JAVA SDK (JDK 6) is needed to use VUI on Linux and the Java VectorSQL and JDBC interfaces on all supported plattforms. 1. Download the latest JDK 6 Update from: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp 2. Add the JAVA_HOME environment variable, set it to the path where the JDK is installed, e.g.: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14 3. If you want to run VUI on Linux, you will also need to make the java executable accessable in your PATH, either by adding $JAVA_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable, or by creating a /usr/bin/java link to $JAVA_HOME/bin/java 4. To verify that the correct version has been installed, open a new command prompt console and run: WINDOWS: > "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -version LINUX: > java -version You should see the following output: java version "1.6.0_14" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08) ... IMPORTANT: A common error is having another Java runtime version installed (e.g. Open Java), please check the output of java -version to make sure the correct version is executed.
