Known issues while installing/FAQ

• Instead of console setup if you GUI setup which is by running sh setup.sh, it does not allow you to edit the data. Its read only. That is why i prefer console setup.

• Java version issue , if you are using 64 bit machine and installed 32 bit java and try to run the setup it will give you issue of jni shared library . That surely means you have wrong java version installed.
• To install on linux you can use following excellent script and info from Mr. Chuck.
