## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Activation 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. Eclipse implementation of Jakarta Activation is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from http://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaf

### 3.2 Installing the Software

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

- Java SE 8

- Apache Ant 1.10.0+

- A CI for Activation 2.0, one example is Eclipse implementation of Jakarta Activation

- Activation TCK version 2.0

- The Activation 2.0 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 8 software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 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 Activation TCK 2.0 software.

   1. Copy or download the Activation TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Activation TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/activation/2.0/.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
