Before you begin installing MiNiFi Java on Windows

Before you begin your MiNiFi Java installation on Windows, ensure that you meet the prerequisites.

  • Install JDK 8.0 64 bit.
  • Install Java to C:/java instead of C:/Program Files because recent Windows versions mark everything in C:\Program Files as read only.
  • Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable using the 8.3 style naming conventions. For example: C:\Program\jdk1.8.0.
  • Ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is pointing to a 64-bit JRE/JDK.
  • Ensure that the Domain user has administrator privilege.
  • Ensure that your system meets the minimum memory requirement for Windows which is 4GB.
