A file system with 250mb of space is required for the installation and the ongoing logging which will be done by the Lamaxu. This requirement may increase if you choose to maintain logs for a longer period.

Ensure the file system is owned by the user you plan to run the Lamaxu as and has been granted read, write and execute rights for the owner.

User account

A user which owns the file system created earlier and has read, write and execute rights on it.

Installation archive

The available artefacts are:

  • LAMAXU-N.N.N-[NNNN]-bundle.tar.gz (Unix variants)
  • LAMAXU-N.N.N-[NNNN]-bundle.zip (windows or other)

Where N.N.N = to the appropriate version (for example 1.6.5) and [NNNN] is a qualifier which may be the mode (e.g. BETA) or another build instance number.

JAVA_HOME
