Graphlytic requires Java to be installed. For the required version see Requirements. If you have installed the required version you can skip the installation of Java.

You can test whether you have the correct Java platform by running from the command line:

$ java -version
openjdk 17.0.11 2024-04-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.50+19-CA (build 17.0.11+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.50+19-CA (build 17.0.11+9-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Install Java

For full installation instruction of Azul Zulu OpenJDK see their official documentation.

(for Ubuntu or Debian)

1. Import the official Azul Zulu OpenJDK GPG key by running the following command:

$ curl -s https://repos.azul.com/azul-repo.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/azul.gpg

2. Import the Azul Zulu JDK DEB repository by running the following command:

$ echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/azul.gpg] https://repos.azul.com/zulu/deb stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zulu.list

If you get a command not found error, try running:

$ sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common

Then repeat the first command.

3. Refresh your package list with apt-get update and then install your chosen Azul Zulu JDK package. For example, to install OpenJDK 17, run:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y zulu17-jdk
