Installation

Linux

• Download the archive and unpack it to an arbitrary location in the file system.
• Set environment variable JAVA_HOME to the root directory of the extracted archive (e.g. /<...>/sapmachine-jdk-11.0.3)
• Set environment variable PATH ($JAVA_HOME/bin)

You might want to use our .deb packages if you're on Debian or Ubuntu:

sudo bash
wget -q -O - https://dist.sapmachine.io/debian/sapmachine.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://dist.sapmachine.io/debian/amd64/ ./" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install sapmachine-11-jre

MacOS

Using Homebrew is the simplest way to install SapMachine:

brew cask install sapmachine-jdk

This will install the latest release of SapMachine into /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines. We are currently working on creating a custom tap to facilitate the installation of other SapMachine versions.

Alternatively, you can download and unpack (double-click in finder) the SapMachine archive for MacOS to an arbitrary location in the file system. You may want to move the resulting directory to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines (admin privileges required). If you do so, /usr/libexec/java_home -V will show SapMachine. Moreover, if SapMachine is the most recent JDK, the java command in the shell will use it. You can try this with java -version.

If you prefer not to have SapMachine integrated in MacOS' Java Framework, make sure to set JAVA_HOME to the root directory of the extracted archive (e.g. /<...>/sapmachine-jdk-11.0.3) and PATH (i.e. $JAVA_HOME/bin) environment variables.

Windows

Using the Windows Installer (download the MSI package) is the simplest way to install SapMachine on Windows.

Alternatively, you can:

• Download the zip archive and unpack it to an arbitrary location in the file system
• Add the System variable JAVA_HOME and set it to the root directory of the extracted archive (e.g. C:\<...>\sapmachine-jdk-11.0.3)
• Select the System variable PATH and add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the PATH variable separated from the previous path by a semicolon.

Installation with SDKMAN!

SDKMAN! now supports SapMachine. Because of the current length limit in the SDKMAN! version string, SapMachine has to be abbreviated as sapmchn. Installing with SDKMAN! is as simple as:

sdk install java 11.03.sapmchn
