INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME ON SOLARIS AND LINUX<br />

The previous section discussed installation on Windows; this section discusses<br />

installation on Solaris and Linux.<br />

ABOUT THE ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME INSTALLATION PROGRAM<br />

The <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime installation program, or setup, was created using<br />

ZeroG InstallAnywhere technology. This technology creates multiplatform packages<br />

that install and configure software on <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime-supported<br />

platforms (Solaris and Linux). The packages are launched using a properties file.<br />

The properties file contains installation parameters and indicate a silent mode of<br />

installation.<br />

The <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime setup consists of features. A feature is an individual<br />

portion of the application’s total functionality that may be installed independently.<br />

The <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime setup consists of the following installation<br />

features:<br />

The available <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime setup<br />

features are illustrated in the table on the right.<br />

Feature<br />

<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime<br />

Java Runtime<br />

Description<br />

<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> components<br />

<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Java components<br />

Windows is also supported. For details on its<br />

system requirements, see the previous section,<br />

‘Installing <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime on Windows’.<br />

All <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> software-based applications depend on an installation of the<br />

Arc<strong>Engine</strong> feature. Applications built using the Java API for <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong><br />

require installation of the JavaRuntime feature in addition to the Arc<strong>Engine</strong><br />

feature.<br />

<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime is supported on Sun Solaris 8 and 9 and Red Hat Linux<br />

AS/ES 3.0.<br />

INSTALLING ARCGIS ENGINE RUNTIME<br />

As mentioned above, <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong>-based applications require that <strong>ArcGIS</strong><br />

<strong>Engine</strong> Runtime be installed on the end user’s machine. Installation of the<br />

runtime can be handled in either of two ways:<br />

You cannot redistribute individual <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong><br />

Runtime files; the installation mechanisms<br />

discussed in this appendix are the only means of<br />

installing <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime files.<br />

1. Your end user runs the <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime setup directly from the CD.<br />

2. You include the <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime setup within your own application’s<br />

installation program.<br />

The following sections document the general requirements for the installation of<br />

the runtime, no matter which of the two types of installation mechanism you<br />

choose, and the steps necessary to install the runtime successfully using your<br />

chosen mechanism.<br />

General requirements<br />

Irrespective of the installation method you chose for <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime,<br />

you should be aware of the following:<br />

• Older versions of <strong>ArcGIS</strong> software—<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime cannot be<br />

installed on any machine that already contains versions of <strong>ArcGIS</strong> products<br />

prior to the version you will be installing. This includes ArcIMS with ArcMap<br />

Server, <strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> <strong>Developer</strong> Kit, ArcReader, <strong>ArcGIS</strong> Server, and<br />

<strong>ArcGIS</strong> <strong>Engine</strong> Runtime.<br />
