2.4. Download and Install JBoss Data Grid

Procedure 2.2. Download JBoss Data Grid

1. Log into the Customer Portal at https://access.redhat.com.
2. Click the Downloads button near the top of the page.
3. In the Product Downloads page, click Red Hat JBoss Data Grid.
4. Select the appropriate JBoss Data Grid version from the Version: drop down menu.
5. Download the appropriate files from the list that is displayed.

Procedure 2.3. Verify the Downloaded File

1. To verify that a file downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal is error-free, access the portal site and go to that package's Software Details page. The Software Details page displays the MD5 and SHA256 "checksum" values. Use the checksum values to check the integrity of the file.
2. Open a terminal window and run either the md5sum or sha256sum command, with the downloaded file as an argument. The program displays the checksum value for the file as the output for the command.
3. Compare the checksum value returned by the command to the corresponding value displayed on the Software Details page for the file.

   Note

   Microsoft Windows does not come equipped with a checksum tool. Windows operating system users have to download a third-party product instead.

Procedure 2.4. Install JBoss Data Grid

1. Copy the downloaded JBoss Data Grid package to the preferred location on your machine.
2. Run the following command to extract the downloaded JBoss Data Grid package:

   $ unzip JDG_PACKAGE

   Replace JDG_PACKAGE with the name of the JBoss Data Grid usage mode package downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal.
3. The resulting unzipped directory will now be referred to as $JDG_HOME.
