Install OpenRTM-aist

The procedure for installing OpenRTM-aist using the MSI installer is described on the following page.

Installing OpenRTM-aist1.2 (Windows, using MSI installer) Download the .msi file. The file name terminated by "x86_64.msi" for the 64-bit version, and "x86.msi" for the 32-bit version. After downloading, double-click the .msi file to start the installation program. If you select [Standard] during installation, all configurations supported by this .msi file will be installed. If you want to install only a part of the configuration, select [Custom]. (Because for the other configurations than [Standard], our validation was not enough, it is recommended to install with [Standard].)

Install JDK8

OpenRTM-aist-Java-1.2.x requires a JDK8-equivalent JDK (OpenRTM-aist will not work properly with JDK11). It should be installed in advance. See below for information on obtaining and installing JDK8.

Install JDK8

JDK installation confirmation

 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

What the installer does

The installer does the following:

Copy various files under the installation directory (default is C:\Program Files)
Create OpenRTM-aist folder under start menu and set various shortcuts

Set environment variables

In 64-bit MSI file case
