This instruction describes the installation of a complete OpenWGA Developer Studio distribution. If you plan to install the studio into an existing Eclipse installation please follow the instructions here.
Prerequisites
On
Windows and Linux you must have a Java Runtime Environment (Version
>= 5.0) installed. If you have not yet installed a Java Runtime you
can download the latest version from Oracle. Linux users are encouraged to install a Java runtime from the software repository of their Linux distribution instead. If you want to use Java 7 please install the binary Java Runtime Environment from Oracle. The OpenWGA Developer Studio is currrently not supported running on OpenJDK 7.
On Linux platforms the studio needs an installed XULRunner package of version 1.8 or 1.9. Please check the software repository of your Linux distribution for this package or get an appropriate download from the XULRunner homepage.
On Ubuntu the XULRunner package was part of the standard installation up until version 11.04, so no action required here. With version 11.10 it was removed. One of the following packages, depending on your OS architecture, can be installed as replacement:
Installation Instructions
