INSTALL.TXT

Install
=========

You can download redPanda at http://files.redpanda.im/redpanda.tar.gz.

You need Java 1.6 or higher. For the qt GUI you need the 32bit-version of java for windows,
because qt only supports 64bit for linux.
Attention, redPanda uses AES256 so you need the cryptographical extention files installed for
Oracle Java Runtime Environment. Open-jdk normally supports AES256.


Run
=========
Just set up the java HOME directory in bin/settings, just ONE line. Like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\"
or "/home/user/java/jdk1.7.0_15/bin/" pointing to the binarys folder. (Without quotes.)

Start redPanda directly from the redPanda folder not in the bin folder:
Just type
  ./bin/redPanda-console.sh
for the console or
  ./bin/redPanda-qt.sh
for the qt GUI currently not working very properly.
