Requirements

  • Being able to search Google.
  • Basic Linux knowledge is recommended.
  • A running Debian GNU/Linux server with configured network and base system.
  • It is recommended to use PuTTY or any other SSH program to connect to your server, this allows the copying/pasting of commands to the server.


A couple things to be aware of before starting:

  • Linux IS case sensitive on file names. Therefore, best thing is to create everything with lower case names to make it easier for yourself.
  • Commands you should type is given in Green, output from the command prompt is given in Red. Text in commands that is marked in Blue is part of a command that typically you would have to change. Commands starts with $ running as current user, starts with # running as root (using su, sudo).
  • This manual was developed based on a virtual server (VPS/VDS). The use of a physical server, home PC or another program than VMware to virtualize your server may require doing some things differently.

Installing Java

To run the H@H server you will have to have java installed on the server.

Pick Java redaction

Java Virtual Machine (JVM) have some redactions. As written on official download page it is:

  • JDK: (Java Development Kit). For Java Developers. Includes a complete JRE plus tools for developing, debugging, and monitoring Java applications.
  • Server JRE: (Server Java Runtime Environment) For deploying Java applications on servers. Includes tools for JVM monitoring and tools commonly required for server applications, but does not include browser integration (the Java plug-in), auto-update, nor an installer.
  • JRE: (Java Runtime Environment). Covers most end-users needs. Contains everything required to run Java applications on your system.

For our case JDK don't need. So, if you need some monitoring tools - pick Server JRE, else - JRE

Install Java

First download the JDK can be with the following command: 

$ wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u51-b13/jre-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz"

Create directory for JVM in /opt: 

# mkdir /opt/java-oracle

Unpack the downloaded archive in /opt: 

# tar -zxf jre-7u51-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /opt/java-oracle
