Procedure 2.2. Mac OS X Installation
Create a folder called
oxygen
on your local disk.
Within the
oxygen
folder, create child folder named in accordance with the version number of
the application. The directory structure looks as follows:
/../oxygen/8.2/
Download the Mac OS X Installation package (
oxygen.tar.gz
) to this folder.
Extract the archive to the same folder.
Execute the file named
oxygen
Procedure 2.3. All Platforms Installation
Create a folder called
oxygen
on your local disk.
Within the
oxygen
folder, create child folder named in accordance with the application version
number. The directory structure looks as follows:
/../oxygen/8.2/
Download the All Platforms Installation package (
oxygen.tar.gz
) to this folder.
Extract the archive to the same folder.
On Windows execute
oxygen.bat
, for Mac execute
oxygenMac.sh
, and for Unix execute
oxygen.sh
.
Procedure 2.4. Windows NT Terminal Server
Install the application on the server, making its shortcuts available to all users.
Edit the
oxygen.ini
file located in the install folder, changing the parameter "Virtual Machine Parameters" to
Virtual Machine Parameters = -Xmx256m
-Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true The "Xmx" value
represents the maximum memory for each application instance. Please make sure you
tune them in a way that the multiple editor instances won't use all the
available physical memory.
Procedure 2.5. Unix Server
Install the editor on the server, making sure the
oxygen.sh
script is executable and the installation
directory is in the PATH of the users that need to use the editor.
Create a file called
oxygen.vmoptions
in the
<oXygen/><oXygen/>
install folder where the
oxygen8.2
file is located. The content of the file must
be:
-Xmx256m -Dcom.oxygenxml.MultipleInstances=true
The "-Xmx" value represents the maximum memory for each editor instance. Please make sure you tune it in a way that the multiple editor instances won't use all the available physical memory.
Make sure the X server processes located on the workstations allow connections from the server host. For this use the xhost command.
Telnet (or ssh) on the server host.
Start an xterm process, with display on the workstation. Ex: xterm -display workstationip:0.0
Start the application by typing oxygen.sh
