- Be sure your system has
enough free disk space to accommodate the compressed,
uncompressed, and "untarred" files.
- Click on the following link to download the software to your system:
Java
WorkShop for Solaris
- 6 Mbytes compressed

- After the software has been downloaded, use the
uncompress command to decompress it:
% uncompress jw-<platform>-S2.sh.Z
<platform> is used throughout the rest of
these instructions
to represent the Solaris platform you are using: "sparc"
or "intel".
Note that some browsers may automatically uncompress the
file for you.
- Make the shell script executable:
% chmod +x jw-<platform>-S2.sh
- Execute the shell script to extract the
software into the installation directory:

The shell script:

- Copies the patch files into the installation directory
- To conserve disk space, you can delete or archive the
original
jw-<platform>-S2.sh file elsewhere.

running the following program:
% <install_dir_path>/JWS/<platform>-S2/bin/IVP
