3.3 Installation: Windows

Under Windows, Sun/Oracle Java 1.6+ is required. Alternatively , you can choose the install version with Java included.

Basic version, no Java included (~5MB): gatewaysetup.exe
Version with 32 bit Java included (~20MB): gatewaysetup-jre32.exe

Instructions: download and run the file, then follow the prompts.
Note: for now, please install to a location without spaces (i.e. not the default location), e.g. C:\Gateway. Gateway doesn't run properly from location that contains spaces; this is a bug in the current version.

Note: XNAT Gateway can run Java 1.8 on Windows. Tested in on my Win10 laptop.
A word of caution – do not install it in default (‘Program Files’) location as that is known to incur permission issues.z

3.3 Installation: Linux (Preferred in Production)

Linux comes with different Java flavors, but we recommend using Sun/Oracle Java 1.8+. Try bundled Java package if you encounter unexpected behavior with default Java VM.

In the Production XNAT Gateway, we will be using Linux Version to implement
