Abstract

This document describes the process of installing, upgrading, and uninstalling Red Hat CodeReady Studio.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Minimal requirements

CodeReady Studio 12.21.3 is compatible with a range of operating systems, architectures, and Java Development Kit combinations. For a complete list, see Supported Configurations and Components.

Hardware requirements

  • 2 GB RAM

    • 4 GB RAM is strongly recommended.
  • 2 GB hard disk space

Software requirements

  • OpenJDK is installed.

    • Red Hat OpenJDK is strongly recommended.

Operating system requirements

  • For Linux (x86_64)

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or 8
    • Fedora 34 or 35
    • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or 21.10

Note

On Windows: If you want the CodeReady Studio instance to be available to all users, install it in a folder accessible to all users (C:\codereadystudio). If it is not possible for the given user to write this main installation folder, any newly installed features and updates will be saved inside the home directory of the user.

Chapter 2. Installing OpenJDK

The following sections describe how to install OpenJDK on Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

2.1. Installing OpenJDK on Windows

The following section describes how to install OpenJDK 11 on Windows using the MSI-based installer.

Procedure

  1. Download the MSI-based Installer from the Red Hat Developer Portal.
  2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen installation instructions.
  3. Configure CodeReady Studio to use OpenJDK by following the instructions for Working with Java Runtime Environments.

2.1.1. Additional resources

2.2. Installing OpenJDK on RHEL

The following section describes how to install OpenJDK 11 on RHEL.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  • To install OpenJDK RPMs, run: 

    # yum install java-11-openjdk-devel

Optionally, you can install the java-11-openjdk-src and the java-11-openjdk-demo packages. The java-11-openjdk-src package contains the complete OpenJDK 11 class library source code you can use with IDE indexers and debuggers. The java-11-openjdk-demo package contains Java runtimes for OpenJDK (demos and examples).

  • To install java-11-openjdk-demo and java-11-openjdk-src, run: 

    # yum install java-11-openjdk-src java-11-openjdk-demo

Troubleshooting

If you encounter the following error message while attempting to log in to the OpenShift cluster, configure your Java to use TLSv1.2. This problem only occurs in Java JDK versions prior to Java 11.0.7 and OpenShift cluster 4.4.0 or higher.

Unable to execute request to request url https://<openshift-cluster-oauth-authorization-server>

  • To configure Java to use TLSv1.2:

    1. Open the file codereadystudio.ini located in the studio directory inside of the CodeReady Studio installation directory.

    2. Add the following line under the -vmargs section: 

      `-Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2`

    $ java -jar codereadystudio-12.21.3.0.GA-installer-standalone.jar \
  /path-to/InstallConfigRecord.xml
  6. Replace path-to with the path to the InstallConfigRecord.xml file.
Note

The generated InstallConfigRecord.xml file is machine-specific and uses Java Development Kit (JDK) and installation paths of your system. To use the InstallConfigRecord.xml file for other operating systems, JDKs, or paths, you must manually modify the file.

3.3.2. Building the CodeReady Studio stand-alone Installer from source

When the build is complete, the .jar file for the CodeReady Studio stand-alone Installer is located in the /jbdevstudio-product/installer/target directory.

Chapter 4. Upgrading CodeReady Studio

The following section describes the possibilities of upgrading your version of CodeReady Studio to the latest major and minor versions.

4.1. Upgrading major versions of CodeReady Studio

Each major version of CodeReady Studio is based on a different version of Eclipse. As a result, it is not possible to upgrade an older major version of CodeReady Studio to a newer major version. For example, it is not possible to update a CodeReady Studio 10.x installation to 11.x. However, it is possible to use the workspaces created using CodeReady Studio 11.x with CodeReady Studio 12.x.

Note that you can have multiple versions of CodeReady Studio installed on your system with Installer or Eclipse, provided you have these versions located in different directories.

The following table details the Eclipse versions supported with each major version of Red Hat CodeReady Studio:
