Installing PeopleBooks 8.50 on Linux/Unix

You may have faced issues installing PeopleBooks Linux/Unix ?

./setup.aix  -is:tempdir /temp -i console

There is a bug with the installer that is looking for a previous JRE release (1.4.x).

You can use the Java installer instead :

java -jar setup.jar -console

If you issue the following command:
./setup.aix  -is:javahome $/usr/java5 -is:log /tmp/pbooks.log -is:tempdir /tmp -i console
 
You can verify in the logs, that the installer is looking for a 1.4 JVM …
