Operating System

For minimal setups any 32 or 64 bit Windows or Linux version with Java 1.6 and a supported RDB system should do.

Linux variants of MDA server packages are delivered as .deb packages, therefore a Debian based distribution is recommended, using alien to install them on rpm based systems should be possible, though.

Linux is always preferred over Windows.

This document focuses on the two environments officially supported by ITEG:

  • Debian 6.0 “squeeze”, amd64, with MySQL 5.1+ server

  • Windows 7 or Server 2008, 64 bit, with MSSQL Server 2008 R2

Database System

The two database systems officially supported by ITEG are:

Newer versions of those should be OK too, like MySQL 5.5 and MSSQL 2012.

Support for other relational database systems is available on request. The libraries used already support Oracle and PostgreSQL.

Java JRE

The MDA server requires a Java SE 1.6 JRE (or JDK).

For Linux the distributor's OpenJDK packages should satisfy (see http://openjdk.java.net/install/), for Windows packages please go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads.

We have not yet performed extensive tests with Java SE 1.7, and are therefore unable to officially support it yet. Success reports are welcome.

Basic OSGi Server Requirements

MDA is only one in a family of OSGi based server products.

Most of MDA's requirements are covered by the OSGi Server Requirements page in our Common Documentation space.

LibreOffice and LibO-Server

Depending on the import and export features required by the users it may be necessary to install LibreOffice 3.5+ (Available at http://www.libreoffice.org/) .To make the LibreOffice ODT and to make it's ODF engine available as operating system service , using the service wrapper LibO-Server from the Clazzes.org project is required.

LibO-Server and the libraries required For Linux installatons, the libo-server package and the required libraries are available from Clazzes deb.clazzes.org using these deb lines:.

No Format
# LibO-Server
deb https://deb.clazzes.org/any any-libo-1.0 main

# Fancylibs, required by LibO-Server
deb http://deb.clazzes.org//debian squeeze-fancylibs-2 main

The LibO-Server package is simply named libo-server.

See http://deb.clazzes.org/ for repository keys and more information.
