Kaplanmu,

If you’re having problems with the linux specific installer, an option is to simply download our manual installer and use that – it works for all platforms and the installation is very straightforward.

Let us know if you require further assistance.

Best,
Brian.

that is basically saying that the spec file contains old syntax that isn’t supported anymore. E
we should write word LICENSE instead of COPYRIGHT but how we can modify the spec file
so what is the solution?

>so what is the solution?

The problem is likely due to the installer selecting an incompatible JRE to
run with. Rather than trying to figure out specifically what’s wrong, the
fastest way to a working installation is to simply download and install
using the manual installation archive that’s also available in the downloads
section of the website. Manual installation instructions are available on
the portal here:

same problem still

You shouldn’t have the same problem with the RPM if you are downloading the manual install. Where exactly in the process of the manual install are you running into trouble?
