Before installing Canterbury Oberon-2 for JVM, make sure there is a fully pre-installed Java SE Development Kit (Version 5 or later) available on the target machine.

Canterbury Oberon-2 for JVM is distributed in a ZIP-file named oberon23.zip. Copy or download this file to a temporary directory. From there unzip to the desired target directory. If you don't yet have an UNZIP utility for doing so, get one from www.winzip.com or www.pkware.com We recommend using the name com.mhccorp for the target directory. It contains, in reversed order, the Internet domain name components for the Web site of MHCCORP.COM and as such should form a unique target directory name for the installation of software products from that company.

If installing to a Win32 or OS/2 platform, the target directory should contain the following files:

obn3.zip
mhc\compiler\obn.lic
mhc\compiler\runtime\obn\*.obn
mhc\obn\samples\*.*
mhc\compiler\doc\*.html
mhc\compiler\doc\*.gif

(compiler)
(user licence if registered)
(runtime)
(sample programs)
(documentation)

If installing to a UNIX, Linux, AIX, Solaris or MacOS platform, the target directory should contain the following files:

obn3.zip
mhc/compiler/obn.lic
mhc/compiler/runtime/obn/*.obn
mhc/obn/samples/*.*
mhc/compiler/doc/*.html
mhc/compiler/doc/*.gif

(compiler)
(user licence if registered)
(runtime)
(sample programs)
(documentation)

Finally, some permanent values are to be added to the java.class.path system property. On most operating systems this is done by adding them to an environment variable called CLASSPATH.

Win32 or OS/2:

CLASSPATH=.\;<install-directory>\obn3.zip;<install-directory>;<other>

Linux, Solaris, AIX or other UNIX systems:

CLASSPATH=./:<install-directory>/obn3.zip:<install-directory>:<other>

Other platforms:

Do whatever is needed to permanently update the java.class.path property with the 3 required values:
  <working-directory>,
  <install-directory>/obn3.zip
  <install-directory>

Example: If, on a Windows XP machine, Oberon-2 has been installed to a directory at "c:\stuff", and there is a pre-installed JDK 5 at "c:\jdk1.5.0_11", then CLASSPATH must have the following values:

CLASSPATH=.\;c:\stuff\obn3.zip;c:\stuff;c:\jdk1.5.0_11\jre\lib\rt.jar;
