Welcome to the Nuxeo platform 5.4.2-RC1.
You can always download the latest releases of Nuxeo applications based on the Nuxeo Enterprise Platform from http://www.nuxeo.com/en/downloads.
The applications based on Nuxeo EP 5.4 need Java. Please install and set up the recommended Sun Java Development Kit (JDK) 6 if it's not already installed on your computer.
Nuxeo is also compliant with the older Java 5, but support for it is likely to be dropped in a future release.
We've also had success running Nuxeo DM on the OpenJDK 6 (the default version of Java installed on most Linux distributions). We don't consider the OpenJDK as a supported platform yet, but we welcome your feedback if you encounter any trouble with it.
It won't work with any previous release of Java (e.g. Java 1.4).
Under Windows, virus scan should be configured to avoid scanning Nuxeo's installation folder. More details on this FAQ entry .
After you have installed the Nuxeo application:
Either follow the Quick installation steps described on the online Installation and Administration Guide or the instructions below.
For setup and configuration, you should refer to the Setup pages of the Installation and Administration Guide.
The following features depend on the environment where you installed your Nuxeo application.
Nuxeo applications are robust, extensible, global content management solutions available as Open Source Software (OSS). Nuxeo imagined, developed and is releasing its applications, helped by a vibrant community of professional and individual contributors.
This release note presents the main features of the platform, through a default web client.
