Installing IBM i Debugger

Before installing IBM® i Debugger on your workstation, you must meet some hardware and software requirements.

Hardware requirements

You must have the following hardware installed on your client:

CPU: 400 - 500 MHz
Memory: minimum 128 MB (256 MB recommended)

Software requirements

You must have the following software installed on your client:

One of the following:
- Java™ 2 Platform, either the Standard Edition (J2SE) or the Enterprise Edition (J2EE), version 1.4 or later
- Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE), Standard Edition, version 1.4 or later
jhall.jar (one of the jar files in JavaHelp)

Note: Be sure to add jhall.jar to your client CLASSPATH environment variable.

For information about installing the previously mentioned software, see the Sun Java Web site Link outside Information Center .

Installing the IBM i Debugger jar file

Before installing IBM i Debugger, ensure that your client system meets the previously listed hardware and software requirements.

IBM i Debugger is packaged in a jar file, called tes.jar, as part of IBM Toolbox for Java. If you have not installed IBM Toolbox for Java on your client, you need to install it when you install the jar file that contains IBM i Debugger.

To install IBM i Debugger, complete the following steps:

Install IBM Toolbox for Java, making sure to copy jt400.jar and tes.jar to your client. For more information about installing IBM Toolbox for Java, see the Installing and managing IBM Toolbox for Java topic.
Note: If you already installed IBM Toolbox for Java on your server, both the jt400.jar and the tes.jar files are in the same directory on the server:
```
     /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/
```
After copying the jar files to your client, add them to your client CLASSPATH environment variable.

Now you can use your client to run IBM i Debugger.
