1. Unix-like operating system. This procedure is only valid for Unix variants like Linux, Solaris, MacOSX. To run some of the scripts you will need to have these commands installed:
   • bash
   • perl
   • curl
   • awk (surely anything that calls itself unix must have awk)
   • tr (seriously, is tr missing? if you are running Gentoo, install an operating system)
2. Sun's Java JDK 1.6.0.18 (though any 1.6 version ought to work just as well).
3. Apache Tomcat web servlet container, version 6.0 or 7.0, configured to run with the Java JDK in #2.
   • Tomcat must be configured to use SSL, see for example: Apache Tomcat 6.0 SSL Configuration HOW-TO
   • See the Procedures section if using Ubuntu's tomcat6 package.
   • It may be necessary to download Tomcat directly and install it manually if the version supplied by the host OS's package system is not usable. Don't hesitate to do this if it is expedient; Tomcat can run as a pure Java application in a single file hierarchy, so a manual download can work just as well (if not better) than the packaged version.
4. Optional: Apache Derby RDBMS installed in your Tomcat servlet container.
   • A copy of Derby is provided if you need to install it.
