| Virgo Kernel is distributed as a ZIP file. This can be downloaded from | |
| <a class="ulink" href="http://www.eclipse.org/virgo/download/" target="_top">here</a>. | |
| </p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="kernel-installation-zip-installing"></a>Installing</h3></div></div></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="kernel-installation-zip-installing-linux"></a>Linux</h4></div></div></div><p> | |
| To install the Virgo Kernel on Linux, unzip the distribution package to the desired installation directory. | |
| For example, to install into <code class="literal">/opt</code>: | |
| </p><pre class="screen">prompt$ unzip virgo-kernel-2.1.1.RELEASE.zip -d /opt</pre><p> | |
| This creates a directory called <code class="literal">virgo-kernel-2.1.1.RELEASE</code> under <code class="literal">/opt</code>. | |
| </p><p> | |
| Virgo Kernel requires write access to the installation directory, in this case <code class="literal">/opt/virgo-kernel-2.1.1.RELEASE</code>. | |
| Typically this means it must be run as the user that installed it, or the installation directory’s ownership must be changed. | |
| </p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="kernel-installation-zip-installing-win"></a>Microsoft Windows</h4></div></div></div><p> | |
| To install the Virgo Kernel on Windows, unzip the distribution package to the desired installation directory. | |
| You should use a zip application such as 7zip, not the built-in folder decompression. Note that both Windows and | |
| Java have some issues with long file names and file paths, so we recommend installing to the root directory of | |
| your chosen drive. | |
