This guide includes information on installing the application.
Use these instructions as a guide, keeping in mind that they're a template and your requirements will be specific to your community.
Some Jive modules (and plugins) you've purchased have their own system and installation requirements. See the separate documentation for each.
The distribution you receive includes key required pieces (such as an application server, Java VM, and an evaluation database). Your operating system should have a package manager (such as the RPM manager on Linux) already installed. When installing, you'll invoke that manager to install the package that contains the application.
