Uncompressing the Azul Platform Prime Archive

  1. Uncompress the downloaded tar.gz archive on the host machine where the Java applications will be run:

     
    tar xzvf zing<prime_version>-<jdk_version>.tar.gz
    Note
    The gzip and tar utilities are required to install the ZVM tar.gz archive on Linux host platforms.
  2. Verify that the Azul Zing Build of OpenJDK is successfully unpacked:

     
    /<uncompressed_prime_archive_directory>/bin/java -version

    The output should look similar to the snippet below:

     
    java version "1.8.0-zing_21.06.0.0" Zing Runtime Environment for Java Applications (build 1.8.0-zing_21.06.0.0-b3) Zing 64-Bit Tiered VM (build 1.8.0-zing_121.06.0.0-b4-product-linux-X86_64, mixed mode)
