Getting Started Linux - Gadreel/dcraft GitHub Wiki

For Linux or macOS installs.

Step 1) Get Java 8 SE

Install Java 8 via your package manager or directly from Oracle:

Oracle JRE 8 Download

I found these instructions helpful, fyi.

Step 2) Set Symbolic Link to Java

The demo assumes that Java 8 is available at /usr/lib/jvm/jre, if it is not then you must set a symbolic link for that. On my server it looked like this:

#sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_20 /usr/lib/jvm/jre

Step 3) Install Java Cryptography Extension

Download and install the Java Cryptography Extension which enables high strength cryptography.

Step 4) Firewall configuration

Check that your firewall will allow listening on the following ports:

  • webserver needs 8443
