Setting up JAVA environment variables

Before installing D1 and Conversion Service servers, you need to set up the JAVA_HOME environment variable and put the [JAVA_HOME]/bin on the PATH.

If Java directory is not yet added to the PATH on your machine, you can use example-environment.sh (Linux) or example-environment.bat ( Windows) script to do it.

To set up Java environment variables for the installation server

1. On the installation server, copy the file example-environment.sh included in the installation package to a location of your choice. We recommend that you copy this script to the directory where your unzipped installation package is saved.

2. Open the file in a text editor and set the respective values:

   #!/bin/bash
   # This is an example environment script which can be used as a template to easily create your own file.
   #
   # exit when any command fails
   set -e
   #
   # set Java installation path
   export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk
   #
   # add Java's bin folder to the PATH variable
   export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

3. When you set the values, save the script. It is now ready to be referenced by other scripts.

You will need to add the --environment /path/to/environment.sh part to the encryption, installation, and health check commands as shown in the following table:

Script	Command
Installation	./install.sh --settings /path/to/installation-settings.yaml --environment /path/to/environment.sh
Encryption	./encrypt.sh --value 'my-password' --environment /path/to/environment.sh
Health check	./check-health.sh --url https://localhost:8443 --environment /path/to/environment.sh

Where to go from here

After you have set up the JAVA environment variables, you can prepare files with encrypted system passwords. Go to the Encrypting system passwords.
