Datalogic™ JavaPOS Device Services

Linux Installation

As with the Windows operating system, Linux requires version 1.5 or later of

the Java Runtime Environment. Visi

java/index.html

for downloading and installation instructions. The Java

application must exist in your system path in order for the Datalogi

c Java-

POS application links to function properly.

If Fedora Core 3, CentOS or Ubuntu is install

ed as a Workstation, it installs a

GNU java runtime

environment. This JRE is not adequate for installing or

running Datalogic JavaPOS. Install the SUN JRE. After this is complete, it will

be necessary to ensure that the SUN version of Java is in the system execu-

tion path ahead of the one in /usr/bin. It may

even be desirable to delete

the “/usr/bin/java” file prior to installing the SUN JRE, then ensuring the

SUN Java executable is in the system execution path.

Under the Linux operating system, the installation procedure is exactly the

same as

for Windows. If the installer is not logged on as the root user, the

installation procedure terminates with a message reminding you to log on

as root.

From a terminal window under either Gnome or KDE, execute the following

command from the same folder where the setup.jar file exists (remem

ber, Java must be found in the system path):

java –jar setup.jar

This command starts the automated Java-based installer

. The

screens and

prompts are the same as for windows, with the exception of the “packages”

window. It resembles the following window:

After running the installer, you must log off and log back on for the settings

to take effect.
