Install Genero Business Development Language |
Before installing, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements and additional software.
Details of the supported operating systems for the Genero Business Development Language.
The Genero Business Development Language is supported on a variety of operating systems. You must install the software package corresponding to the operating system that you use.
For a detailed list of supported operating systems, refer to the System Support matrix (available on the Four Js Web site in the product and documentation download area) or contact your support center. This matrix also informs you which operating systems will no longer be supported as of the next release.
To connect to a database server, the database client software must be installed on the system where you run the Genero BDL programs.
The Genero runtime system uses database drivers to connect to database servers, as a database client program. Database vendor-specific client software needs to be installed on the system where you run the Genero programs.
Database drivers are shipped as shared libraries and require a database client software shared library. The database driver to be selected must correspond to the database client type and version.
For a detailed list of supported databases, database driver names, and operating systems on which those database drivers are supported, refer to the System Support matrix (available on the Four Js web site documentation or download area) or contact your support center. This matrix also informs you which database drivers will no longer be supported as of the next release.
Ensure you have a C compiler and linker to compile your C Extensions.
Applications using C extensions, need a C compiler and linker to build the C extension library that will be loaded by the runtime system.
On UNIX platforms, you need a cc compiler on the system where you create the C extension libraries. Some systems may not have a C compiler by default. Make sure you have a C compiler on the system.
On Windows platforms, it is mandatory to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (also known as Visual C++ 10.0) on the system where you create the C extension libraries.
Install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) if programs use the Java Interface.
If the Java™ Interface is used in your application programs, you need to install the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Search the internet for latest JRE packages available for your platform.
The minimum required JRE version is Java 6.10.
