## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Annotations TCK software.

After installing the software according to the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration," for instructions on configuring your test environment.

### 3.1 Obtaining a Compatible Implementation

Each compatible implementation (CI) will provide instructions for obtaining their implementation. CI is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.ca

### 3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the Annotations TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Java SE 1.8

- A CI for Annotations 1.3, one example is CI

- Annotations TCK version 1.3, which includes:

  - JDOM 1.0

  - Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

  - Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

  - Apache Commons Codec 1.3

  - Apache Ant 1.8.4

- The Annotations 1.3 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 1.8 software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 1.8 software from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

2. Install the Annotations TCK 1.3 software.

   1. Copy or download the Annotations TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Annotations TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/annotations/1.3/.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip cajtck-1.3_dd-Mmm-YYYY.zip`
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, `<TS_HOME>`.

3. Install a Annotations 1.3 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the Annotations TCK 1.3 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for Annotations are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/annotations/1.3/.
