Linux

Debian or Ubuntu

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

sudo bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates gnupg2 
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

export GNUPGHOME="$(mktemp -d)"
gpg --batch --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys CACB9FE09150307D1D22D82962754C3B3ABCFE23
gpg --batch --export --armor 'CACB 9FE0 9150 307D 1D22 D829 6275 4C3B 3ABC FE23' > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sapmachine.gpg.asc
gpgconf --kill all && rm -rf "$GNUPGHOME"
echo "deb http://dist.sapmachine.io/debian/$(dpkg --print-architecture)/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sapmachine.list
apt-get update
apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install sapmachine-21-jdk
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
 
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/sapmachine-21

RPM

On RPM-based systems, you can use our .rpm packages.

Fedora

sudo bash
dnf -y install ca-certificates curl
curl -L -O https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/releases/download/sapmachine-21.0.4/sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
dnf -y install sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm

CentOS

sudo bash
yum -y install ca-certificates curl
curl -L -O https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/releases/download/sapmachine-21.0.4/sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm

OpenSUSE

sudo bash
zypper -n install ca-certificates curl
curl -L -O https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/releases/download/sapmachine-21.0.4/sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm
zypper -n --no-gpg-checks install ./sapmachine-jdk-21.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm

Direct download

• 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-21.0.4)
• Add $JAVA_HOME/bin to the environment variable PATH

macOS

SapMachine Manager

A very convenient way to install SapMachine versions and keep them up to date is to use the SapMachine Manager. Install it from GitHub, then install the SapMachine version you need (default is the latest LTS) and SapMachine Manager will keep it up to date for you from there on. You can as well opt out from the autoupdate.

Homebrew

Homebrew is another way to install SapMachine. Homebrew is a package manager for Mac. When you are familiar with it and maybe even use it already, you can manage your SapMachine installations with it as well.

At first, if you have not already done it, install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

In case you did not just install it, you should update its contents:
brew update

Homebrew supports the installation of the latest released SapMachine by default:
brew install sapmachine-jdk

To install other versions of SapMachine you can use our tap.

Tap via: brew tap sap/sapmachine

List available casks or versions of SapMachine to choose from:
brew search sapmachine

Install a cask by name:
brew install --cask <cask>

Available casks

Version	JDK	JRE
SapMachine Released	sapmachine<MAJOR>-jdk	sapmachine<MAJOR>-jre
SapMachine Early Access	sapmachine<MAJOR>-ea-jdk	sapmachine<MAJOR>-ea-jre

SapMachine EA builds are not signed/notarized, so you must disable the quarantine flag during installation via the --no-quarantine option. Examples:

brew install --cask sapmachine11-jre
brew install --cask sapmachine17-jre
brew install --cask sapmachine21-jre
brew install --cask --no-quarantine sapmachine23-ea-jdk

Direct download

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-21.0.4) 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-21.0.4)
• Edit the System variable PATH and add %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the PATHvariable separated from the previous path by a semicolon.

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:

### install SapMachine17
sdk install java 17.0.12-sapmchn
### install SapMachine21
sdk install java 21.0.4-sapmchn
