Java JRE Installation

The Databridge Console requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run. If you don’t have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, you will need to install one before you can use the console.

NOTE:You must have a 64-bit JRE, one that matches the architecture of the console you install. We no longer provide a JRE for Windows. If you do not have a 64-bit JRE go to Oracle (http://www.oracle.com) to download the appropriate files.

Installing a JRE

You can download and install the JRE from the Oracle website.

  1. To run the Databridge Console install JRE 8.

    IMPORTANT:The Databridge Console will not run using JRE 9.

    Go to the Java SE Downloads page ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads). Download and install the JRE or the Server JRE download (you do not need the JDK). To run the Databridge Console install JRE 8.

  2. After installing the JRE, run the following command to confirm that the JRE version reported is the version you downloaded.

    \<java-path>\bin\java -version

    For example:

    >"C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\java" -version
java version "1.8.0_nn"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_nn-b01)
