#### Linux

This release of Java 3D runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher. To install this build, chdir to the "jre" directory within the jdk and execute the self-extracting binary that you downloaded. For example, if you are running on a Linux/x86 platform and your JDK is installed in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06, you would install Java 3D as follows:

cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre
sh /path-to-download-files/java3d-1_4_0-linux-i586.bin

You may need to be "root" to do this on Linux.

For example, if you are running on a Solaris/x86 platform (including amd64) and your JDK is installed in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06, you would install Java 3D as follows:

cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre
sh /path-to-download-files/java3d-1_4_0-solaris-x86.bin

You may need to be "root" to do this on Solaris.
