This page offers information about the running environment for an Athento ECM server.
The Athento ECM can run on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.
The only requirement to run the Athento ECM is to have Java 7 or Java 8 (also called Java 1.7 and Java 1.8) installed. You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) to develop on the platform, but a JRE is enough to just run it.
We currently support Oracle's JDK and OpenJDK. Don't hesitate to contact us if you need us to support a JDK from another vendor.
To check that you have the right version of Java:
cmd
(or command
) in the Run window and press "OK" or open the "Prompt command" from "Start > Programs > Accessories" menu.Type java -version
and press Enter.
If Java is correctly installed on your computer, the name and version of your Java virtual machine is displayed:
java version "1.7.0_17" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7 .0_17-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) 64 -Bit Server VM (build 23.7 -b01, mixed mode) |
java version "1.7.0_15" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3 . 7 ) (7u15- 2.3 . 7 -0ubuntu1~ 12.10 . 1 ) OpenJDK 64 -Bit Server VM (build 23.7 -b01, mixed mode) |
If Java is not installed on you computer, it fails to display the Java version. Then, you need to install Java (see below).
If Java is installed but not included in the PATH, it fails to find the Java command. Then, you need to add $JAVA_HOME/bin/
in your PATH (see How do I set or change the PATH system variable?).
If the required version of Java is not installed on your computer:
For Ubuntu, the openjdk-7-jdk package is available from version 12.04 LTS on. For Debian, it is available from "wheezy" (7.0.x).
You can still download Java from the Oracle website (Java 7 - Java 8).
Java packages and instructions for installation are available from the Oracle website:
Athento ECM is designed to be scalable and can thus to be deployed on many servers. It can be installed on only one server for a start, and can also easily be installed on many servers. The constant is that there is the need to have one modern server with good performances. Then the other servers can be more lower-end.
The numbers below are given for the one needed high-end server.
The default persistence configuration is lightweight and easy to use, but it is not made for performance.
The Nuxeo Platform uses:
Nuxeo applications can be used with the browsers below.
Browser extensions for Drag & Drop and Live Edit are available for Internet Explorer and Firefox only.
Oracle JDK 7 and 8, 64 bits recommended especially on Windows environment.
Different backends may be set as well for Nuxeo Core repository as for all other Nuxeo services that persist data. Please see the list of supported databases for each version of Nuxeo.
