How To Install

For detailed instructions visit our documentation page.

You have multiple options for installing Message Manager:

  • MSI
  • ZIP/TAR.GZ
  • Launcher

MSI

This is the easiest and recommended option for Windows operating systems. The installer will install the product and add it to the startup group. By default, it will launch using the shipped Java 17.

You can adjust this if needed. see “How To Change the Used Java Installation/Version?”

ZIP/TAR.GZ

If you select this option, you must ensure that the launcher uses the correct Java executable/version. By default, it will use JAVA_HOME. If that is not set it will use whatever is available on the PATH.

You can adjust this if needed. see “How To Change the Used Java Installation/Version?”

Launcher

This option requires the least initial download (<300KB). The required files will automatically be downloaded on the first launch of the application.

You must ensure that the launcher uses the correct Java executable/version. By default, it will use JAVA_HOME. If that is not set it will use whatever is available on the PATH.

You can adjust this if needed. see “How To Change the Used Java Installation/Version?”

How To Change the Used Java Installation/Version?

For detailed instructions visit our documentation page.

Message Manager will first try to use the java set as JAVA_HOME. If no JAVA_HOME is set it will fallback to the Java executable, if any, on PATH.

You can change this by creating a script to adjust the environment.

Windows (MSI):

  • Navigate to C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Local\conapi\MessageManager\bin\
  • Rename setenv.bat.template to setenv.bat
  • Edit setenv.bat
  • Modify the LAUNCHER_JAVA environment variable to point to your preferred Java executable (must be Java 17+).

Windows (ZIP/Launcher):

  • Navigate to the location where you extracted Message Manager: i.e. C:\conapi\MessageManager\bin\
  • Rename setenv.bat.template to setenv.bat
  • Edit setenv.bat
  • Modify the LAUNCHER_JAVA environment variable to point to your preferred Java executable (must be Java 17+).

MacOs/Linux (tar.gz/Launcher):

  • Navigate to the location where you extracted Message Manager: i.e. /opt/conapi/MessageManager/bin
  • Rename setenv.sh.template to setenv.sh
  • Edit setenv.sh
  • Modify the LAUNCHER_JAVA environment variable to point to your preferred Java executable (must be Java 17+).
