Download RapidOSS for your platform (windows or unix) from the Downloads page and unzip in a directory of you choice.
 | Due to the 260 character file path limitation in Windows, make sure that you do not select a folder deep in the hierarchy while unzipping. You can unzip directly in C:, or in a subfolder under C: to be safe. |
All files will be unzipped into the RapidServer directory which will be referred to as RS_HOME. That is, if you have unzipped into /opt, then RS_HOME is /opt/RapidServer.
Unix
Create and set your RS_HOME environment variable (i.e. /opt/RapidServer)
Windows 32 bit
RapidOSS can be installed as a Windows service. Go to the RapidSuite (RS_HOME/RapidSuite) directory and execute rs.exe -install. For example:
C:\MyPrograms\RapidServer\RapidSuite> rs.exe -install (install RapidOSS as a windows service)
Windows 64 bit
Just use rs_64.exe executable file instead of rs.exe file for your service operations.
| RapidOSS is distributed with 32-bit JRE under RS_HOME/jre directory. The rs_64.exe executable file looks RS_HOME/jre directory first to find the JVM, if it cannot, it looks the environment variable JAVA_HOME next. So you have to replace the RS_HOME/jre directory with your 64-bit JRE, or delete the directory and define your JAVA_HOME environment variable to point the 64-bit JDK or JRE |
