Downloading and running ERT

Download ERT from the download site.
Install Sun jdk 1.5 or higher on the system, which will be used to run the ERT.
(Windows only) If you are running the ERT on a Windows machine, be sure to turn off the User Account Control. For more information, see: Configuring Windows security.
To run the ERT, do one of the following:
- Using a command line interface, navigate to the downloaded location and run the following command:
```
java -jar adobe-ert-launcher-10.x.x.jar
```
- Browse to the downloaded location and double-click the adobe-ert-launcher-10.x.x.jar file.
The contents of the JAR file are extracted to [downloaded location]/adobe-ert directory.
If prompted, click Yes to install the latest updates to the ERT and restart ERT.
Note: If ERT is unable to connect to the update site to check for the latest updates, a message is displayed at the bottom of the window indicating the same. In such a case, access the update site and check for the latest updates manually.
(Testing for Install Readiness only) Without exiting the ERT, navigate to the folder where you extracted the contents of the .jar file, and manually deploy the aep-ert-validator-EAR-10.x.x.ear file to one of the following locations as applicable:
- JBoss: JBoss profile where LiveCycle EARs will be deployed.
- WebLogic: WebLogic managed server where LiveCycle EARs will be deployed.
- WebSphere: WebSphere server instance where LiveCycle EARs will be deployed.
Restart the application server after deployment.
