Like this:

Let’s start by making our security server.

• Download “Virtual Box” and install it on your development machine. I personally use Apple.
• Download a copy of Fedora Linux Operating System

Let’s start installing the Fedora Operating System:

• Open or run VirtualBox
• Click on Next
• Enter “opensso” as your VM name
• Select Linux as your operating system and the select fedora
• Set 400MB as your RAM and click next
• select “Create new hard disk” that open another installation window, click on next
• select “Dynamically expanding storage” and click on next
• select a location for your virtual hard drive  file
• set the size to 8GB and click on next
• click on finish
• click on finish

Now you can install fedora operating system on your virtual hard drive. To do that you need to map the fedora iso file (DVD image).

• click on the storage:
  
  
• Select CD/DVD drive
  
• click on the browse icon to select an iso file.
• click on add and add the Fedora image you previously downloaded to the list and click on select
  
• next click on ok. you are back on the home page.
• select your virtual machine from the left panel and click on “Start” icon from

When you start the you the following window will appear in the VirtalBox application:

click on “Live System User” and the on the desktop click on “Install”

After the installation of the operating system is completed open a terminal:

At this point we are going to install java. First we have to remove the java came originally with the operating system by typing the following command in the terminal:

yum remove java

when java is removed, open the firefox browser and go to http://java.sun.com to download the latest version of java. Make sure you download the “ jdk-6u18-linux-i586.bin” instead of the rpm version.

copy the downloaded file to /opt/ by typing:

cp jdk-6u18-linux-i586.bin /opt/

now you have to go to the opt and install the java.

cd /opt/

First you have to make the file executable by typing:

chmod +x jdk-6u18-linux-i586.bin

the type

./jdk-6u18-linux-i586.bin

and complete the installation.

You then have to make sure that the java is accessible whenever you login and open a terminal. So you need to create a login shellscript file:

cd /etc/profile.d/

vi java.sh

Now you have to add the following lines to the file. when in vi press “i” for “INSERT” and paste the following lines:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0_18
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

now press “esc” and type :wq
