gvSIG-Desktop. Installation guide.
Note
This manual explains how to install gvSIG and its previous requirements in detail, that can change between version. For further information about the necessary requirements for a gvSIG version, please consult "Previous requirements" and "Install/uninstall instructions" sections for every gvSIG version
Actually you can access to the install packets from www.gvsig.org gvSIG has a series of requirements that must be installed for its correct working.
Installing gvSIG
You can currently access the installation packages in www.gvsig.org
gvSIG has a series of pre-requisites which must be installed for it to function correctly.
Installation requirements
A Java-compatible virtual machine (1.4.2.06 or superior virtual machine recommended).
JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) and JAI Image I/O library must be installed in the virtual machine.
N.B.: If this is the first time you have installed gvSIG, you will find an executable file which includes these pre-requisites in the following “installation options”.
Installation options
gvSIG offers four installation options depending on whether you use the Windows or Linux operating system, and on whether you want to install gvSIG from a file which contains the installation pre-requisites.
If you are installing gvSIG on your computer for the first time or you are not sure whether your computer is Java-compatible, we recommend downloading the executable file with the necessary installation pre-requisites. However, if you have installed and worked with gvSIG on a previous occasion or if you have a Java-compatible virtual machine and the libraries are installed, you should download the installation file without the pre-requisites.
Therefore,
- If you use Windows, you must install an .exe file.
- If you use Linux, you must install a .bin file (Check that you have permission to execute the file once it has been downloaded).
- If the pre-requisites are not already installed or you are installing gvSIG for the first time, install the “With installation pre-requisites” file.
- If you have installed gvSIG on a previous occasion or the pre-requisites are already installed, install “Without installation pre-requisites”.
