# 3. Installation

## 3.1. Pre-requisites

Vortex OpenSplice RnR Manager requires Oracle Java of at least version 1.6. OpenJDK Java is not supported.

RnR Manager does not need Vortex OpenSplice to be installed on the same system in order to control the RnR service. However, certain features of RnR Manager require a local installation of Vortex OpenSplice in order to operate. This includes connecting to a locally running Vortex OpenSplice domain using Domain URI, or Domain ID, and the storage Import/Export functions.

(Please refer to the Vortex OpenSplice Getting Started Guide for full details of how to install Vortex OpenSplice.)

Other information regarding recent changes to RnR Manager, or known issues are given in the Release Notes included with the distribution.

## 3.2. Supported Platforms

The RnR Manager will run on the Windows and Linux operating systems.
